How to recognise a good programmer

Mon, 02 Jun 2008 16:46:22 -0000

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

In his article The 18 mistakes that kill startups, Paul Graham makes the following point:

How do you recognise good programmers if you’re a business guy?

Passion

Self-teaching and love of learning

Intelligence

Hidden experience

If you can’t have a great conversation with them in a relaxed social context, they’re very likely not a good programmer

Variety of technologies

Formal qualifications

Positive indicators:

Passionate about technology
Programs as a hobby
Will talk your ear off on a technical subject if encouraged
Significant (and often numerous) personal side-projects over the years
Learns new technologies on his/her own
Opinionated about which technologies are better for various usages
Very uncomfortable about the idea of working with a technology he doesn’t believe to be “right”
Clearly smart, can have great conversations on a variety of topics
Started programming long before university/work
Has some hidden “icebergs”, large personal projects under the CV radar
Knowledge of a large variety of unrelated technologies (may not be on CV)

Negative indicators:

Programming is a day job
Don’t really want to “talk shop”, even when encouraged to
Learns new technologies in company-sponsored courses
Happy to work with whatever technology you’ve picked, “all technologies are good”
Doesn’t seem too smart
Started programming at university
All programming experience is on the CV
Focused mainly on one or two technology stacks (e.g. everything to do with developing a java application), with no experience outside of it

Translate: Select any text in the browser and have it convert to English (or your language) on Dion Almaer's Blog

Tue, 06 May 2008 14:25:21 -0000

So, I decided to create a Translate bookmarklet that allows me to select any foreign text, click on the bookmark, and a little window pops up with the English translation if it can work it out. Automatic translation is far from perfect yet, but for many scenarios you can easily get the gist (e.g. you wouldn’t want to automatically convert a book).

Free Tools, Le meilleur des outils gratuits pour webmaster» Blog Archive » Hartija, framework CSS pour l’impression de vos pages internet

Mon, 21 Apr 2008 12:50:29 -0000

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

Vladimir Carrer a eu récemment besoin d’un “système” pour imprimer une page web. Il a fait une petite analyse des solutions existantes mais ces dernières ne répondaient pas exactement à ces attentes. Il a donc programmé son propre framework !

Le framework Hartija est un fichier CSS universel rassemblant le meilleur de chaque solution auditée.

Son implémentation est enfantine. Il suffit d’ajouter la ligne link rel=”stylesheet” href=”print.css” type=”text/css” media=”print” est à ajouter dans la partie HEAD de votre page.
