Absolutely, I currently work with a Ruby guru, the Walking iOS Documentation, Mr Java, a security expert, and Ms Mobile. Personally, my background is robotics. I've never seen a group of people that can tackle a problem better. We are all from different backgrounds as developers, most of us are from different universities too. Age ranges span 22-35 range with a cluster in the 22-25 range. We work really well as a team because we were hired for our ability to communicate effectively and understand problems. I know during my interview I was shocked to see 3 of my team members and 2 of my team leaders in individual interviews (I talked to 14 people that day). These interviews were not so much technical as they were "soft skills" tests to see if I was a fit for the team.
