Yes, there is a large class of programs that can be built by a coding genius in a garage a lot better/faster/cheaper than by a team of average programmers sitting in Dilbert cubicles and forced to attend endless status meetings, etc. Especially where one needs to get particularly "creative" in inventing new and interesting solutions to a problem." Sounds like you are reacting to the quote, and not to the book. The author never implies that all code can be built in a garage by two people. I think you must be misremembering what you read?
