The proof is in the code. That is all.

I referred a client, and his project, to one of the best coders I've personally met.

His social skills are fine, but his patients are not. That's what I learned.

The proof is not in the code. The proof lies in the question:

"How happy is the client (post-project)?"

That works in a contractor/freelancer setting. I think the article is talking about hiring for your company that develops its own products.

Yeah, that question is a bit hard to answer, especially down to the granularity of an individual coder, when you're on a 3 year ship cycle and there are 2,000 other devs contributing to the project as well.
