OK that begs a further discussion!
What in your eyes makes a developer “good” as opposed to thinking they are good
– specific qualities please of what the good qualities are. I am wondering if
there are many opinions of what a “good” programmer is which might explain why
some think they are good whilst others think they are not. What are the more
objective measures?
I have worked on numerous projects the last few years and seen a lot of
different talents. Some that stick out in my experience are:
a.. Technical proficiency – ie knowing already what is likely to be the best
technology to use to tackle a new problem
b.. OO depth. Is it innate or learned? How is it best learned?
c.. Ability to mentor and guide others through existing code
Curious to hear specifics from you as you have the reputation of a Delphi
authority!

I know here (Australia) we would happily pay decent salaries if we found Delphi
developers that were actually good and didn't just *think* they were good.

As a Swiss Delphi Developer living in New Zealand I find that interesting.
Switzerland isn’t exactly at the top of my mind when I think about the “value
for bucks” for outsourcing work to – not because you don’t get the quality, but
because salaries there are almost twice what you would have to pay here.

Gary.
If you would like to send the details to me I will have a chat with them.
Unfortunately we have had such a bad run with Kiwi Developers we moved our
R&D over to Switzerland last year where we get much more cost effective results.
Anyway, I’d like to assess the person myself to see if they are suitable.
Kind regards.
