Keep A and learn how to motivate him. it's more effective then keeping B and making him smarter.
- jownz 17y agoI was thinking the same thing! I wonder if the asker ever thought to talk to the A? Maybe he's ticked off because he's had to fix countless careless bugs produced by the 'B's for the past year? Maybe his salary isn't up to par? Maybe he's not pleased with architectural decisions? Maybe his 'nix box was pwned last night? The best way to fix an A is to talk to them. A happy A is worth 10 'B's. 'B's produce redundant and infuriating sloppy code. Most 'A's are self-taught for the most part and they play very well with people on their level.
