The question is what to understand under word smarter.
if it is more knowlegeble. Than personally for me there are choises:
First is that i can learn and improve my own skills from people hwo
has more experience than i.
But else if i am working in a society where every person
equal in his/her abilities than we have perfect conditions for
competition on professional(and sad thing - not only) level.
Pure competition is a blessing, not only for yourself.
The final choise was hard, but for now i prefer first point.
And if you mean by word smarter - intelligent.
Than it is twice hard question. One person can beter solve
differential equotions the other person may be guru on electronics
or for example on programming and so on(Maybe not the best comparison).
I do not know how to classifize people by their intelligence.
And if ever anyone will know this for sure, AI wont be a problem

Technically better or more intelligent?
A programmer that is better than me, is not necessarily more intelligent than me.
But a more intelligent person, is not necessarily a better programmer than I am.
I like to work with intelligent people.

I agree you have to make the distinction here.
Personally, I'd rather be towards the top in both areas. When you are the "smartest", you can get bombarded with every little issue and you have nothing to aspire to.
Give me technical competence and intelligence and I'll give you a great team!

If you get bombard with every little issue, wouldn't it be a smart thing to do to redirect them to CP;). Almost every little issue can be found in the articles, tutorials, f.a.q., ...

A professor knows a lot about little.

Very well said. Like having a girlfriend who is smarter than you... you can be the big man and say you don't mind, but every now and then you rebel against that notion and wish for a simpler girl.
Though in practice I reckon the agony is worth it in the long run.

Nothing "big" about it... it's more like greed. I want a smarter girlfriend because then there's a good chance she's making more money than me, in which case she'll be more likely to pay for dates and stuff.

I like job security. If everyone around me could do my job than who would go first when we need to downsize??

But if you work with nothing but morons, your whole company could go under!

Yeah you're right. Didn't think about Enron. Whoops, I meant Arthur Anderson. Oh wait...

You will. You're assuming that management is smart enough to lay off the feebs before they lay you off.

I like it to, but I do not trust management to see who is doing the real work.
Have it seen in another IT company: The smart, but quiet ones (who did the work in the projects) in the development team were layed off and they kept the not so smart, who were able to claim the success of the projects. The company went down the river a year later ...
Personally I like to work with people as smart as myself, all taking equal part in the success of the projects we are working on.

I agree. I was thinking about that when I answered it in the first place.

Who cares about job security if the job not is stimulating.
It is stimulating to work wit both knowledged, and inteligent people.

In reality I like working with a mix of people who are smarter, as smart, and not as smart. You can learn stuff from all 3 groups.
![Green Alien | [Alien]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/alien.gif) Smarter - Obviously, you can learn from their knowledge.
As smart - usually no two people have the *exact* same subset of knowledge. You can learn from each other in this scenario.
Not as smart - you can learn by teaching them what you know.
