on the counter-side we appear to have people who can code but are unable to communicate productively otherwise. surely there must be _some_ merit to creating a list of lower level development tasks (as dictated by those with experience to judge) to encourage people to enter the development cycle. of course, there will be a large attrition rate, most people like the idea but can't stick the learning curve. others may be intelligent and able but less confident and just need pointed in the right direction. obviously the intention should be to try and capture the latter without loosing energy on the former.
