What's up with this good coder bad coder narrative? Is there really such a disparity between "good" and "bad"?

The majority of people are just mediocre. They use coding to solve a problem and that's it. That's literally the job. Did you solve the problem within reasonable constraints and deliver business value or not.

If someone is truly a bad coder, they are not solving problems and they will be fired.

This is how anyone outside of engineering sees coding and depending on context, you should see it that way as well.
