As smart (but the choice was hard) Navin4-Aug-03 3:28 Navin 4-Aug-03 3:28  In reality I like working with a mix of people who are smarter, as smart, and not as smart. You can learn stuff from all 3 groups. Smarter - Obviously, you can learn from their knowledge. As smart - usually no two people have the *exact* same subset of knowledge. You can learn from each other in this scenario. Not as smart - you can learn by teaching them what you know. "When a man sits with a pretty girl for an hour, it seems like a minute.

It seems many states try to change their stereotypes by road signs. In Kentucky, signs say "Drive Smart". In New Jersey, signs say "Drive Friendly".

I don't know about the New Jersey folks, however .

Phil.Benson4-Aug-03 22:05 Phil.Benson 4-Aug-03 22:05  This is of course correct, how can you expect to get(be) better(smarter) yourself, without somebody to learn from? Also, this give an incentive to be better(smarter). bum... and I thought I´d got rid of all the bugs Smarter Drones Paul Watson4-Aug-03 2:21 Paul Watson 4-Aug-03 2:21  I like having smarter guys to do what I say. I will never be a hectic hardcore programmer. I get stuck into every part of a project including the clients and that is what I enjoy. By smart guys I mean guys I can hand out the specific requirements to and get back a working block of code. I can come up with the ideas but heaven forbid me havint to actually do the number crunching algorithm for it. Some people worry that smarter co-workers means you get left behind and stuck in a dark corner. Well, thats pretty true. Our "non-smart" guys end up doing maintenance work for a long, long time. But if you are in a leadership role and can do the Baffle and Bullshit routine with clients then having smart co-workers is a great thing. (Naturally I am assuming smart as in technically smart. Not smart as in business or client handling.)

Wouldn't you rather work with someone who is smarter in the sense of intelligence, i.e. an ability to quickly master new topics and adapt to changing circumstances, than with somebody who has merely acquired expertise through longevity?
