Someone who knows programming at the hardware level as their platform and the ability to reason about costs incurred by their code whilst transforming data upon it. Understanding that code is not what a programmer does, it the tool she uses to do it. Resistance to popular dogmas in technology, willingness to put her ideas to the test and eagerly replace her methods once it has been established that another one is the better solution.
