.. when reading the 'debugging' thread in the main forum.
If you were perfect in judging candidates and had zero, none, nada time/ability to do any 'real' work yourself (e.g. being drowned in administrative duties), how would you weigh these 4 skills in the one you hire to be the only one in your company doing 'real' work. Please enter a total of 100 NOTE: the criteria is that there is no other resource but this ONE person. knowledge design coding debugging my take: knowledge 25 design 30 coding 20 debugging 25 Erik You forgot about 95% of any task, namely documentation. If a person can't read an objective specification and understand what it says, or, if he/she can't write down, clearly and concisely, with proper syntax and orthography, what the purpose of a given code module or circuit segment is, what it is intended to accomplish and how, then he's not suited for any kind of work, aside, perhaps, from burger flipping and/or toilet scrubbing. A person who can't read and write well, has been inadequately educated. It's not that education teaches one how to read and write, but, rather, it trains one to do that. If one hasn't learned to do it, not just HOW to do it, but to make it part of his work and, frankly, of his life, then he's not willing to do a complete job. Do you really want someone working for you, who refuses to do parts of the job because he finds them difficult or onerous? RE |
