“Better software engineers” to anyone who does software engineering is a joke. It’s an totally unquantifiable measure, and some people use dumb metrics like leetcode capabilities as some IQ test.

There absolutely _are_ better and worse software engineers.

There may not be an objective metric to discern a difference between two people of similar skill, but for sure it is easy to tell John Carmack from a junior developer with two years of experience.
