The Ideal Programmer - Why They Don't Exist and How to Manage Without Them?

Mike Williams joined with Bjarne Däcker to found the Ericsson Computer Science Laboratory 1980. One of the things they did in the Computer Science lab was to "invent" Erlang. Mike&role was to develop the first Erlang virtual machine (Joe developed the compiler and machine architecture). He worked out the primitives for fault handling and dynamic code replacement. The Ideal Programmer - Why They Don&Exist and How to Manage Without Them? For many years, I have been trying to define the "ideal programmer" only to come to the realisation that they don&exist. This talk will be about the people and skill you must have in your team if you are to run a successful project. It will also touch on what you need to avoid as well.
