Quote from Forbes.com "Risk Management in Software Talent Investment" http://www.forbes.com/sites/venkateshrao/2011/12/05/the-rise-of-develope...

"On the flip side — and this doesn’t have a name, perhaps it should be called the “-10x effect” — bad software developers aren’t just a minor drag or inefficiency. For a variety of subtle reasons, they can be catastrophically toxic in a complex software system. A bad engineer writing dangerously buggy or ill-conceived software can create a ticking time-bomb that will cost thousands of times the original investment to clean up after, once it explodes (there’s a phrase for it, “technical debt”). What’s more, the clean-up effort will absorb the efforts of many more good developers."
