Well Put, except
I agree born not made, generally.
But they have to be willing to learn and listen, many straight out of college had the attitude that they knew it all and wouldn't listen.
Some looked down at me with 20 years (at the time) experience, but no college degree.
Many quickly came over once they ran into a problem, or f' good and I had to bail them out.
How about the developer that created a daily process (my idea) that ran about 30 hours, and used massive amounts of I/O (Mainframe where we 'paid' for each I/O).
I was on sabatical when it was created, after the boss brought me in, 20 minutes later gave them a 1 line fix. Now it ran in a few hours and consumed a fraction of the I/O. They had been trying to figure it out for weeks.
