Developer Qualifications
I’ve got to agree with Wei a bit. Some of these developers look very good. They have a good backgrounds. But they throw a blanket statement at you with a “cover letter” that is far too generic (why do I care if you’ve been developing in .NET for 3 years when I clearly want a LAMP project done?). They try to oversell themselves by giving information that I don’t care about. I’m very happy that you all have ISO 9000 certification, but that’s, for the most part, useful only in manufacturing where an actual product is made. Code isn’t exactly the same thing. Now, tell me you guys use Extreme Programming or Spiral Programming methodoly and I can get a feel for what you’re all about. I’ve sat here for the last 3 hours looking at people who are bidding for our work and I’ve only come acros 3 people that I feel good about. Either the general web programming population isn’t as mature as I would hope or or they are just horrible communicators.
Wish me luck…
