Context¶

Confirmed. Schulmeyer published "The Net Negative Producing Programmer" in American Programmer in 1992. He described NNPPs as programmers who "insert enough spoilage to exceed the value of their production." In a team of ten, he estimated up to three may qualify, and on high-defect projects (30-60 defects per KLOC), up to half may be NNPPs.
