On the Techfounder.net blog today Eran Galperin asks the question "what makes a good programmer?":

Some casual surfing led me to this article from a couple of years ago, titled "How to recognize a good programmer". [...] It got me thinking though, on what are the attributes I consider useful in fellow programmers. So what makes a good programmer?

Some of the key features he suggests looking for in a good programmer include:

• An analytical thinker
• Gets things done
• Does more than "just enough"
• Responsible
• Good human relations
