It's the spark of interest, the open-mindedness, the drive that makes you constantly seek out new ways to make things better. If you have that, experience will follow on its own accord. If you ever lose that, you stop being a developer and start being an idiot, regardless of your experience.

Knowing how to code is usually rather a big part of being a Dev though, and that last person linked to in the first post appears not even to possess that ability. Willingness is fine, but it's bugger all use if you can't do diddly. Unless he's purely doing documentation or suchlike, that's an insane choice for a Dev.
