I was asked who on my opinion is a good programmer. Well here is my opinion
1. Has an ability to determine project scope.
2. Writes efficient code, I mean fimilar with efficient algorithms and knows how to classify them by efficiency.
3. Lazy enough not to write same snippet of code twice.
4. Not conservative in willing to learn new technologies and design patterns.
And final section that I would prefer to put in index 0 is the ability to market his self.
