"smartness" isn't the only thing that matters in programmers.
Smartness is overrated but experience is critical for speeding up work. I can implement a whole site in Django but without good experience I will be slow (even being good at Python)
Nowadays, I think we need to find new ways to evaluate candidates productivity. For example, just following a Q&A method (stackoverflow) I can be faster than other developers.
