Following the theme..

Dave: “A people hire A people, B people hire C people. Always strive for the most excellence. Never be scared to work with people who are smarter than you. Never be scared to let others be smarter than you”

Daniel: “I’d go one step further. The best thing you can do is to work with folks that are smarter, or have better skills than you. It’s by far the fastest way to get better yourself”

Steven: “Besides, working with idiots really sucks. I feel my brain melting away every day.”

Don’t think I could say any of it any better. I’m certainly keeping this in mind as I continue looking for new employment. I want to work with people who are smart, who I can learn from and who I can respect. Not necessarily tech-smarts either. Just people who excel at their jobs and inspire me to excel at mine!
