Now this is beginning to sound more interesting.
I think you are on the right track. Question is how do you find that
person? I got my current job because I noticed a customer (I sold
them a virtual domain at iserver when I did that sort of thing) was
hitting my resume. The guy at this company was showing programmers
what he expected to see. Well we began to talk and now I'm working
at a real job.
I have encountered very, very few people who spend any time at
learning anything. I dropped out of college so I know I am ignorant.
I wonder if people who graduated feel they know all they need to
know. Or if it is just a personality trait?
About the language. Were I you I would find a programmer who
enjoys,appreciates. I keep getting bothered by my fellow employees
who are looking for fun stuff we can all do; fun for me is developing
my programming ideas.
I also think that OO is the best approach. OO seems more like an
attitude than anything else. I think it is a better way. If I were
to hire a Perl programmer I would want them to be using an OO
approach. I wonder if this also applies to C.
