I overall agree with you on "Code Complete", but where did you find data that disproves 'orders of magnitude programmer's productivity'? I can't reach the linked website.
I'd be genuinely interested to check that. While still anecdotal, my experience from working in big and small companies in 4 countries is that there certainly is a absurdly wide gap in productivity between programmers.
