What makes a good programmer?

Post by producer »

Having just got my arse chewed for not being fast enough, I just have to ask!

In a nutshell, I've not worked for the past 10 years doing "yet another website" for Joe Blow or worked for some company that did so. I worked most of the time doing cool stuff that required out of the box thinking and knowledge in areas beyond just programming.

That said, making a switch of sorts to working free lance or working for some high production design house has just delivered a hell of a right hook to what I heretofore thought was an iron jaw.

That said, doing what any good warrior would do, I'm looking for answers and getting back up on my horse. Unfortunately, while I work on entrepreneurial things, I still have to bring home the bacon. :banghead:

So let's hear what you think.

Pick a framework, preferably the one that the high production design house uses, and leverage it to improve your speed. And don't over design for these kinds of sites -- YAGNI.
