An appropriate image: http://www.semitwist.com/download/fp2.jpg The best types of people to work for are real experts and complete novices. Actual experts, obviously, becase they're (by definition) not idiots. And novices because they *know* that they don't know anything and would rather not give any thought to it anyway, so they leave you alone and trust your judgement. The worst people to work for are the tech enthusiasts: the ones that know just barely enough that they *think* they're capable of having a coherent opinion.
