As a contracting developer, I go for about four or five interviews a year, and I’m on the hiring side of the desk about the same number of times.
I’ve worked side-by-side with some truly great developers, and a few who were not so great.

And you’re about to read them.
Warning: I disagree with a lot of conventional wisdom so I’m afraid this is one of those “you’re doing it wrong” blog posts.
