| You are interested. Repeat. You are only *interested* in evaluating
someone with a completely different set of skills than yours; not just
the programming language, but in fact the whole thing. For e.g. if
you're a programmer and the guy you're interested in evaluating is a
database admin, or a data architect, or a graphic designer who writes
some scripting occassionally in some toy language, or someone who fixes
computers.
The assumption is that you two are in totally different fields, but the
fields are both technical and they're related to computers.
What are the basic skills you'll look at. Let me start with one:
1. Common Sense
PS: I emphasised on the *interested* part because it is important. We
tend to perform better when we're merely interested in things and not
*responsible* for them as our prime duty. The responsibility is with
experts in the related field. I am more interested in this evaluation
for my own evaluation skills.
