I've been to many interviews in my lifetime, as the employer and employee. One of the recurring questions in almost all the interviews I've participated in has been: "What makes a good software engineer?"

This is an interesting question. I've listened to many engineers tell me what they think is important, and the answers are remarkably consistent. It's almost as if they've read the same book, and are just spewing out what they've read. Good communication skills, good problem solving skills, able to write and debug code.

Just my general comments about software documentation.

Hmm... so, you wanna know about the schmoe who runs this company?
Well, let's start with the basics.

• 6'1"

• Brown hair, green eyes
• 2 kids, 1 cat and 1 wife
• Smoker, Drinker, Womanizer, Meat Eater, Coffee Drinker ...
• Lewd, crude and sociably unacceptable
• Twisted sense of humor
  

Lets see, did I miss anything?
Don't do drugs. I've got enough vices that are bad for me.
