Honestly, he was brilliant. I was looking forward to working with him. Right up to the point where we handed him a laptop and asked him to write some code. "I know you're looking for language X, but I'm really more comfortable with Y." Me (who has written my share of Y): "Sure, that'll be fine. Y should be installed." He proceeded to take 30 minutes to not produce anything resembling X or Y. It was agonizing.
