The Absolute Need To Understand
One sign of a good programmer is their absolute need to understand. Whether the environment they are coding in, the language or frameworks they use, or even the theory behind what they are trying to develop, the need to understand is a driving force in people who make good programmers.

The tricky thing for some programmers I have met, is to understand that with business pressures, sometimes it is ok to accept that a library works and use it, and then understand how it works afterwards... Coming back to see how someone is doing, to find they have been browsing the Tomcat source code for the past X days is never a good thing on a deadline...
