Joel Spolsky over at Joel on Software is a great writer, not only knowledgeble but also obtain some skills on how to get knowledge down on paper(?). I read his blog occasionaly and with great fun and interest. He’s hiring again, and in his post I found this very great sentence on how someone in our industry should be:

“(attention to detail, insane curiosity, constant need to be learning new things, strong ability to stay levelheaded and organized even in the most chaotic of situations, doesn’t soil pants in fear when presented with a command prompt, thinks “rtfm” is a great answer, etc.)”
