I would carefully reconsider whether such a person would make a
worthwhile developer. DDs must, for all practical purposes, be
self-motivated, and driven by a desire to do the job well. *Not* for
recognition. If something that small would cause them to stop trying,
we're probably better off without them; they won't last six months
anyway. We do not have a shortage of MIA developers.
