> "Poor people management" isn't specific enough The point of the article was to boil the 10 answers to one, so by it's very nature it's not going to be specific, but just trying to capture the common gist.

> it doesn't explain why top contributors are more likely to leave than mediocre contributors I think one can presume that top talent have more options so its easier for them to leave, also the probably became top-talent because they cared more than the average developer and thus more likely to be bothered by mismanagement. I think this could be presumed to be common knowledge and thus not need to be explicitly stated in the article.
