Good luck finding people who are 2 of these, and it is not possible to judge people with existing limited interview processes. This list is impossible.

- snovv_crash 8y agoIn the right environment a lot more people will have these. A good team lead can nurture them and given the right ingredients and conditions a whole team of these can emerge. On the other hand, just a few small things can completely prevent these people from blooming (overwork, bad morale, badly explained goals, constantly changing scope etc.). Hire smart people with a spark. Give clear directions without micromanaging. Make sure people are getting enough sleep to think clearly, and enough time to do upfront planning so they don't write those bugs they would get demoralized on in the first place. Be an inspiration to others, then hand them the reins and let them inspire everyone else.
