Yes, in other words, the proper definition of a "really good programmer". (As opposed to the flawed one Joel - and many others - use)



For me -- Seems to also fit the (albeit rarely found) definition of a "good architect" also.


I'll give you that. I've never seen a "good architect" that wasn't also a "good programmer" via my definition.


Indeed - For whatever reason, I've had the title architect for most of my career, so I hope that's true (as for the "good" part...).
