Continuing a meme: What makes a good developer

Matt asks what makes a good developer?

  • Lazy - And willing to go to great lengths to be lazy.
  • Tinkerer - Willing and able to take peeks beneath the surface.
  • Aesthetic - Appriciate a good and elegant solution and actively works to get to it.
  • Passionate - See this as more than mere work.

But the good developer must also be able to get the job done, of course... and that sometimes contradicts the points above ;-)

Agreed with Sergey. A good developer should be pragmatic and realistic.
