Really amazing programmers are generally doing more than just earning a paycheck. If the job is to do something truly extraordinary (land a rover on Mars, cure cancer, create a new genre of software) then it is easier to catch the imagination. If it is another release of an existing accounting package, then it is not quite as strong a draw.
