If this is a matter of finding the right candidate, I'd be most interested in
what they have done. How many projects? Where are the projects online to run
through the paces? How similar is anything they have done to anything you are
doing? Are they familiar with your industry? With your clients?
Ask them about other developers that participated in their projects. Ask them
about the obscure methods and the newest buzz wothy stuff you are using. Ask
them if they have used it and if not if they are interested in learning. As
them about their former managers.
Ask for code samples of what you might fear or of what you use and want to see
them using.
There are lots of ways to do the same thing. Who knows a junior person might be
doing something you just haven't thought of. A lot of programming is first
about theory - how to solve the problem in many ways. Then it's about
prototyping and then finally the deliverable - which is ideally optimized,
speedy and reliable. Put five different mega corps doing the consulting and I
bet you have five somewhat different solutions.
Most people aren't writing most optimal and best speed web applications. There
is room for better efficiency here like in all other software circles. Without
a doubt, a junior developer will abuse the speed of todays processors and mask
the slow nature of their work. For them to evolve they optimize and use
different methods to do the same thing.
