Someone with a good dose of critical thinking (ask seemingly naive questions to get to the root of an issue, embrace critique, logical reasoning about how a program works at an abstract level).
My personal experience is that the actual act of programming can then follow easily. Mainstream programming (web/mobile) isnโt that hard and doesnโt require CS etc imo.

Agreed. This issue came from the context of a Coalition for Queens curriculum meeting. Given a very limited amount of time, what skills should be taught to make them a good candidate for a job based on their potential?
In other words, consider that someone already has those qualities you outlined. What actual skills could they be taught to get them a job as a junior dev? Should they be familiar with the command line? Git? TDD? REST? Anything at all?
I think we agree that hiring someone without any programming experience would be a solid choice if they did display those characteristics. What I guess I'm asking is, what minimum set of skills qualify someone to call themselves a "programmer"?

I started a draft of the same post based on notes I had from the C4Q meeting. Would appreciate any feedback if you have the time.
