I was a developer, a project leader, a project manager, and a product owner.

 In my point of view, "Good developer" means both sides.

Well-skilled developer and Good in my status.

I experience many startups' requests about "Please introduce me a good developer"

And I listen to the situation from them.

There is some pattern.

Start with CTO

Usually, it makes a really difficult situation.

If you have really skillful and well experienced CTO, you are going to get some trouble between You, CTO, and developers

After succeeding in getting seed money, you will hire more developers.

At the time, you and your CTO want to get a good developer so hire a well-skilled developer.

It's starting of struggling between developers and CTO because CTO was a developer and manager previously so he/she has pride in the technique and just think about development but management

If the status is in here, you are starting to think about project manager but honestly, you want to get someone can handle the struggling situation

If the right person was hired, now you are thinking about "Better, bigger, faster, and more stable system" or development team insist "We can't do better any more with this legacy because it's not well designed"

It's the last step, maybe you are in Series A or more step.

It this time you need a really outstanding developer who is a "Rebuilder" 

As I mentioned, a good developer means both sides.

You need to check "Which roled developer whom I need"

It's not the right answer, just my opinion.

CTO: please check how many skill he/her experienced, it's really important because she/he will set the development stack

Languages, Libraries, Frameworks, and platforms

Developers after seed stage: Well, definitely you want to hire a well-skilled developer, that's the right way. However, still, the development is leading by CTO, you'd better hire a junior level developer for decreasing problem in the development team.

Check their project commit frequency and volume

Project Leader: He/she is the executor of the design, check his/her commit pattern, usually they do initial commit and library commit

Mento developer: In this case, a good developer means "Well Bonding" people, usually they did like "Old brother". I recommend the role with 10 or over experienced developer, check how many projects experienced and how long involved at each project

Rebuilder: You should check everything from the developer. Experience, Skills, Projects counts, coding test. This guy must be really expensive.

Well this is my humble opinion

If a question mark pops up on your head,
