After reading about "makers vs menders", I have started looking for developers whose favorite things to do compliment the current makeup of the team. We need makers and menders. This is sort of a technical skill, but it's more of a personality type. We need both types of people.
I really appreciate good old fashion hustle. If I get the idea that you're going to pour yourself into something and really care about it, I will probably want to hire you. If you're very smart and technically skilled, but picky about how you contribute or "too good" for certain kinds of work, I'm going to have a hard time with you.
Ultimately I want to give you work you like, but you can't be too good for what needs to get done right now.
Exactly. Way too many people out there who think they are too good to do the dirty work. Guess what? That's where you show your real skills. Anyone can look good on green field projects. Few can take a piece of crap codebase and improve it. I take pride in being able to do so.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
