superprogrammer
     
        A prolific programmer; one who can code exceedingly well and
        quickly.  Not all hackers are superprogrammers, but many are.
        Productivity can vary from one programmer to another by three
        orders of magnitude.  For example, one programmer might be
        able to write an average of three lines of working code in one
        day, while another, with the proper tools, might be able to
        write 3,000.  This range is astonishing; it is matched in very
        few other areas of human endeavour.
     
        The term "superprogrammer" is more commonly used within such
        places as IBM than in the hacker community.  It tends to
        stress naive measures of productivity and to underweight
        creativity, ingenuity, and getting the job *done* - and to
        sidestep the question of whether the 3,000 lines of code do
        more or less useful work than three lines that do the {Right
        Thing}.  Hackers tend to prefer the terms {hacker} and
        {wizard}.
