[$] The programming talent myth

Jacob Kaplan-Moss is known for his work on Django but, as he would describein his PyCon 2015 keynote, manythink he had more to do with its creation than he actually did. While his talkranged quite a bit, the theme covered something that software developmentorganizations-and open source projects-may be grappling with: amyth about developer performance and how it impacts the industry. It was athought-provoking talk that was frequently punctuated by applause; theseare the kinds of issues that the Python community tries to confront head on, sothe talk was aimed well.
