I like looking for passion for problem solving. The problems just usually require using programming as a tool. I'd like to believe the product is also solving a real problem. The metaphor I like to use is, I'm looking for a carpenter that likes building structures, not a carpenter that likes using hammers. But that's just what I'm looking for, and what I believe many engineering-centric orgs are looking for. There are definitely companies out there that just want another assembly robot in their software factory assembly line and plenty of people happy to take that role.
