How to Recognize a Good Programmer

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the looking-beyond-the-resume dept.

KDan writes to share an article he has written about what some of the key factors in recognizing a good programmer. "It's not as easy as it sounds. CV experience is only of limited use here, because great programmers don't always have the 'official' experience to demonstrate that they're great. In fact, a lot of that CV experience can be misleading. Yet there are a number of subtle cues that you can get, even from the CV, to figure out whether someone's a great programmer."

    I actually prefer not to move and would rather stick with one good job with a good company for a long time and I think I have finally found one.

    Last time I looked for a job and was leaving my previous company for a multitude of reasons, which was about 4 months ago, I had about 8 interviews within a two month period and recieved 3 offers and I took the one that I believed to be the best.

    I hope to stay where I am for many years to come.
