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."

    According to my own self-analysis, I fall into the "Good Programmer" category. Go me!

    However, I still need to improve in a few areas; namely, my "variety". PHP, C++, Java, C#, BASH, VDS ... there's room for a few more languages in there. And maybe a few technologies along the way. :)
