As we are just transforming people quotations into laws and effects, let me add mine.
”In a heated market, where it is easier to crack code interviews than to prove yourself a talented and effective IT engineer, the least talented and effective engineers are more likely to leave, to float away, because their employers have less reason to try to keep them. Those who tend to remain are the ones who have more “weight” in the company, as their effectiveness and talent are better evaluated by their colleagues than external audience from conference talks, blog posts, and code interviews”

You can call that ”The Gravity Effect”
I've heard this as one of the key justifications for an internship program. Outperformers are likely to be aggressively retained by their first employer, so if you want a fighting chance at landing them, that had better be you.
