how do you define smartest developers?

  ability to solve Hard Problems rather than create them

    ...and to explain the solution to humans with the same code that solves the problem on a computer. It rarely happens completely, but it's a good ideal.

  I mean clearly the highest IQ people I’ve ever worked with. The smartest people I’ve worked with that are developers.

    By outward appearance or some other metric? Not to get on a soapbox, but I would imagine someone with great pattern recognition would be able to realize this way of doing things is deranged; and ultimately helps them more than the team- On second though: perhaps they are genuinely the smartest people in the room -- prioritizing their image and importance by making others believe they're too stupid to understand what's going on. I really should go study Gang of Four -- job security demands it.
