I want to point out that none of your points are an actual indicator of how good someone is at programming. They are important in the context of a job, especially in a team, but not for actual coding. So its really two different things we are talking about here.

Good point. The points I made apply more to Software Engineering. I should have clarified "good programmer to work with". But as you say, this is in the context of a job. There are no managers in amateur/hobby programming.
