I like to think of myself as somewhat of a polymath in tech - enjoying and doing decent work in a variety of types of software at all different layers. I also enjoy other things that I would put myself squarely in the hobbyist side: small engine repair, metal and woodwork, plumbing etc.

So how would one determine if someone has 3 "top 1%" skill level (per the article)?

I suppose the answer is in 2nd half of the article?

Two types of more reasonably defined polymaths emerge - pick three skills and achieve a certain level of output in a reasonable time:

apprentice level 4% input, 64% output, 10 months

journeyman level 10% input, 80% output, 48 months.

thoughts??
