Hmm... maybe I miscommunicated.

I was referring to the speed at which people became better
developers, rather than the speed at which they produced
code.  Perhaps there should have been a comma?
"getting better people, faster" ?  or less ambiguously, 
"getting better people, sooner".  Oh, the joys of language.
Did you know people had been writing English for several
hundred years, before punctuation became common?
