Most teams should not waste their time searching for a “great” developer (whatever that is, exactly). Instead they would be better off just hiring the first candidate that comes along in whom they have reasonable level of confidence will soon be a productive contributor to the team's goals and makeup, and then move on with business. Everyone involved in the recruiting, screening, and interview process should not lose sight of this as the objective, and resist any temptation to get sidetracked by silliness like “pedigree” and “trendiness”.
