Finding Great Developers

I've been using the new RSS capabilities in Outlook 12 to monitor some great blogs out there.  Today's 'Joel on Software' was particularly insightful.

Check it out at:

Reading the article I couldn't help but think of my own background.  How I got my first 'industry' job, how my friends in college got theirs.  Microsoft has a great internship program which helps attract a lot of great hires here.  (Hopefully I fall into that category ;) 

Whether you are a hiring manager or just a plain developer I would recommend you check it out to get some perspective.
