If you ever manage to come up with a reliable way of identifying skilled coders, you'll be very, very rich.
At my previous job we had 20 interns and one senior who was like 50 and his attitude boiled down to "why can't we just keep doing things the way I was taught when I was a student".
At my current job there's me, another Junior, and a Senior. The other Junior works very fast, very well, always has valuable input in discussions. With the senior I need to work carefully, because while the guy has knowledge in certain areas, he misidentifies priorities, makes mistakes, doesn't communicate shit, while at the same time demands things to be his way because he is the senior so he has authority. On top of that his English sucks so every meeting in which he's involved takes three times as much time as it could.
