1. When you get to 1,000 programmers, you need to have "average" ones,  
"stars" just get resented and cause trouble by their presence.

2. Companies with legacy code need them to maintain it. This is often  
a dull, boring job.

3. Many startups reach a point where they find they are "barking up  
the wrong tree" as it were, and they hire mediocre programmers to keep  
busy, but never quite produce anything, so that the investors don't  
realize what is happening and pull out.
