Comment What I would consider (Score 1) 763
A good programmer...
...I think.
- Usually isn't a good programmer only. (But has multiple skills)
- Has a lot of hidden material/knowledge not written in his CV or told you in a first meeting
- Is organized very well (I would go so far to say, that he has is own way [of Dave Allen's] GTD)
- Is intelligent and has a good memory.
- Is healthy. You can't give 100% without being healthy (in common terms)! There are exceptions: Beethoven was still productive while being deaf. Evelyn Glennie [80% deaf since age of 12])... Lunatics? Madness mostly is very diverting.
- Works (mostly) for passion and not for money.
- Chooses and isn't chosen.
- Can switch between open mindedness and single-task-focus-only very fast.
- Adapts his environment to himself and not himself to the environment.
- Is entitled as being a strange guy by his co-workers often.
- Crap.
- Does read on lists, though there are lines with crap because the most beautiful treasures are often found at the bottom of a lot of crap.
