I really AM glad to have met you

It is a pleasure to interview a candidate who is energetic, obviously smart, logical, and who seems genuinely to enjoy the work. It is sheer pleasure. So few people come in for programmer job interviews and... well... are or want to be programmers. This one I hope we get to keep.

Hiring good QA people is extra-super-rough. So many of them come into it thinking of it as some sort of stepping-stone to becoming a developer, rather than really appreciating how totally central QA should be to the entire development process, and how challenging it is. My hat's off to the really talented QA engineers out there, and even more so to the companies that foster cultures where QA and Dev are true peers!

Ok, off my soapbox now. :)

My hat's off to anyone who pays them as true peers.
