And everyone who's ever said that skill isn't everything, you need people skills is missing the much more important point that without good coders, you have 0% of building good software. The friendly, super-competent coder is the golden ticket, but barring that, the asshole programmer is your second best shot.
- dagw 16y agoI disagree. A team of good but not great coders who work well together will probably produce better code in the long run than a team with a great asshole programmers who poisons the team.
- AmberShah 16y agoWe might just be quibbling over good vs great, but the number of professional programmers producing code out in the real world that can't write a simple fizzbuzz method is astounding.
- dmoney 16y agoThere could be a business opportunity in interfacing between asshole genius programmers and normal people. I wouldn't want to be that person though.
