> Software Development is often about human factors as much as it is the code.

Totally true that. But the title almost suggests you can build a winning team out of a random bunch of average developers.

Although the best developer is an illusion as it doesn't exist as such, just 'building teams' doesn't really say much to me too. I've seen very terrible teams that should have been replaced with just 1 good developer..

Personally I prefer to hire the best fit for the job, whether he or she will be part of a team or not.
