Interesting, although I'm not sure if it works the same way for knowlegde workers.

I'd be interested in what writers do, or other creatives. Then again what defines a succesful writer?

Also, knowlegde workers also come in all kinds. Does one churn out template websites for clients, or code new stuff?

Yes, you're right.

I guess if you're working full-time as a software developer you're not much different from an athlete doing her job?

When going over and beyond the call of duty like LeBron James in the article that requires a different kind of person. Even in athletics there's not a lot of them.

ofc there's always a categorization and definitional issue, yet given the assumptions that:

1.  People CAN be better than other people at tasks (conveying their ideas, attracting audiences, etc)
2. People CAN improve at things over time through the concept of something related to the notion of practice

wdyt about it?
