sharkyJay Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 You meet a php programmer and can only ask him/her [b]one question[/b].

ober Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 That's ridiculous. You cannot determine a programmer's worth on one question. That's a management pipe dream.

neylitalo Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 I'm really hoping this is a joke, to which there is a predetermined answer... because if it isn't, it should be deleted ASAP, if not before. There is no one question that determines the quality of a programmer.
