[GD-General] what you look for in a coder...

[Richard F. <gd...@th...>]

I've just been elevated to tech lead, and as a small company, we need
good guys first time round (can't waste ages finding out people aren't
up to the job), so my question is: what do you guys consider important
when hiring a coder?

obvious things i can think of are : can code, can work to deadlines,
knows own limitations...

but what things have you found that are "always good signs" when hiring?
