On any given day, you are equally likely to find me:* Tinkering with the strategic plan * Managing day-to-day operations* Consulting with clients* Building Super Go Faster’s next killer appAs an owner of a consulting company, though, my most important responsibility is identifying the best consultants in town.Studies consistently find the following:* A good programmer is ten times more productive than an average programmer.* A great programmer is 20-100 times more productive than an average programmer.A bad programmer is not just unproductive. Not only doesn’t he get his own work done, but he creates a lot of extra work and headaches for others as well.My business partner and I interview each and every potential consultant. Together, we have more than 40 years of programming experience and, therefore, can suss out the good (and great) programmers more readily than traditional recruiters, who typically don’t have any programming experience.Our knack for identifying talented programmers benefits our clients in many ways. Obviously, it’s a great time saver for them since they don’t have to sift through piles of resumes just to find a few good candidates to interview. More importantly, though, good programmers are more productive, and higher productivity translates into faster project delivery and lower cost for our clients.“A great lathe operator commands several times the wage of an average lathe operator, but a great writer of software code is worth 10,000 times the price of an average software writer.” -Bill Gates Show less
