>While no one programming legend can possibly accomplish any big feat solo, there are programmers worthy of fame for their supreme productivity.
Actually at least one programming legend did according to many:
------
Woz designed all the hardware and all the circuit boards and all the software that went into the Apple II, while the other Steve spewed marketing talk at potential investors and customers on the phone. Every piece and bit and byte of that computer was done by Woz, and not one bug has ever been found, “not one bug in the hardware, not one bug in the software.”[15] The circuit design of the Apple II is widely considered to be astonishingly beautiful, as close to perfection as one can get in engineering. Woz did both hardware and software. Woz created a programming language in machine code. Woz is hardcore.
