I like having smarter guys to do what I say. I will never be a hectic hardcore programmer. I get stuck into every part of a project including the clients and that is what I enjoy. By smart guys I mean guys I can hand out the specific requirements to and get back a working block of code. I can come up with the ideas but heaven forbid me havint to actually do the number crunching algorithm for it.
Some people worry that smarter co-workers means you get left behind and stuck in a dark corner. Well, thats pretty true. Our "non-smart" guys end up doing maintenance work for a long, long time.
But if you are in a leadership role and can do the Baffle and Bullshit routine with clients then having smart co-workers is a great thing.
(Naturally I am assuming smart as in technically smart. Not smart as in business or client handling.)

Hey dude.
How was your holiday, btw?
Also, I will be in town in 2 weeks for a MS talk. We should maybe meet up?
Cheers,
Simon

... you can learn something from them instead of feeding your 'ego'  And yes, I assume "smarter" in technical terms, not those that think they are smarter, lol

I am assuming smarter in term of technical and domain expertise.

But that is not smarter, that is simply more knowledgable.
Wouldn't you rather work with someone who is smarter in the sense of intelligence, i.e. an ability to quickly master new topics and adapt to changing circumstances, than with somebody who has merely acquired expertise through longevity?
