Criteria of a Good Programmer

I once went for a interview at a foreign bank for the post of programmer. That was the most unpleasant interview experience I have had yet. The interviewer keep asking me for the definition of technical term or technology, that somehow I fail to answer. Example question: 1) What is Data warehousing? 2) Different between Java Generics and C# Generics. 3) What is AJAX?
Although these are familiar term to me but I failed to answer or rather I failed to give a good description. After the interview session I start to have this question playing in my mind: "What is a good programmer?". Does a good programmer able to explain or describe the in-depth of certain technology. If so, the lecturer at school would able to do so since lecturer is good at explaining. Does a good programmer able to convert business logic/rule to machine understandable coding? If so, the end user would able to do so since end user does involve in the business.

Again, what is a good programmer? I am confused.

Sabuti, A Burmese Traditional Food

I came across this stall at the restaurant opposite Pudu Plaza. A typical Chinese restourant selling typical Malaysian food, watan mee, porridge, pan mee, and etc. Then something caught me, some Burmese selling something call Sabuti. From far it look like porridge. When I get a closer look at it, it is soup, like the Indian ox tail or chicken soup. My curiosity tell me to try it. I sit down and order 1 portion. They serve with salt and MSG. An extra RM 1 you will get the fried beef with chili and onion, I warm you...is super hot..at least for my standard. After my first sip and I know why they serve the salt and MSG. The soup is plain, pretty plain in taste. One might enjoy it but not me. I prefer my soup to be a bit "spice". I added the salt and MSG and the soup taste better. Please note this is not a healthy way of eating soup. Don't try it too often :D The ingredient inside the soup, beef and corn. Simple but filling and I can understand why the soup i...

They meet new friends at the circus and enemy, the Paris animal control, and has been travel across France, Rome, London and and return back to the big apple, New York City, Central Park Zoo. Again, the movie bring us a lot of laughter and joy. Marty will always so some silly thing, Alex will always save the day will some silly move, and Gloria and Melman will always silly and in love. I love this movie because beside the fun and joy the movie bring, the movie will always carry a positive message of true friendship and family value. I think I like this sequel the most and really touch by the scene when the they return to Central Park Zoo, a place where they called home and realizing they don't fell they are at "home". They suddenly felt that they don't belong to the zoo, they really belong to the their new family at the circus. The circus is the place where...
