How do you measure a good programmer? Haven’t gone through article yet, but that’s my first question that pops up.

Productive, in the commercial sense.

I’d suspect that using GCJ as a data source they assume that “good” = solving a given round of competition. The further you reached in rounds - the better programmer you are. Not the best measure if they really used it. Coding competitions have almost nothing in common with day to day work of software engineer.
