Computer Science
 2n (Level 0)n2 (Level 1)n (Level 2)log(n) (Level 3)Comments
data structuresDoesn’t know the difference between Array and LinkedListAble to explain and use Arrays, LinkedLists, Dictionaries etc in practical programming tasksKnows space and time tradeoffs of the basic data structures, Arrays vs LinkedLists, Able to explain how hashtables can be implemented and can handle collisions, Priority queues and ways to implement them etc.Knowledge of advanced data structures like B-trees, binomial and fibonacci heaps, AVL/Red Black trees, Splay Trees, Skip Lists, tries etc. 
algorithmsUnable to find the average of numbers in an array (It’s hard to believe but I’ve interviewed such candidates)Basic sorting, searching and data structure traversal and retrieval algorithmsTree, Graph, simple greedy and divide and conquer algorithms, is able to understand the relevance of the levels of this matrix.Able to recognize and code dynamic programming solutions, good knowledge of graph algorithms, good knowledge of numerical computation algorithms, able to identify NP problems etc.Working with someone who has a good topcoder ranking would be an unbelievable piece of luck!
systems programmingDoesn’t know what a compiler, linker or interpreter isBasic understanding of compilers, linker and interpreters. Understands what assembly code is and how things work at the hardware level. Some knowledge of virtual memory and paging.Understands kernel mode vs. user mode, multi-threading, synchronization primitives and how they’re implemented, able to read assembly code. Understands how networks work, understanding of network protocols and socket level programming.Understands the entire programming stack, hardware (CPU + Memory + Cache + Interrupts + microcode), binary code, assembly, static and dynamic linking, compilation, interpretation, JIT compilation, garbage collection, heap, stack, memory addressing… 

Software Engineering
 2n (Level 0)n2 (Level 1)n (Level 2)log(n) (Level 3)Comments
source code version controlFolder backups by dateVSS and beginning CVS/SVN userProficient in using CVS and SVN features. Knows how to branch and merge, use patches setup repository properties etc.Knowledge of distributed VCS systems. Has tried out Bzr/Mercurial/Darcs/Git 
build automationOnly knows how to build from IDEKnows how to build the system from the command lineCan setup a script to build the basic systemCan setup a script to build the system and also documentation, installers, generate release notes and tag the code in source control 
automated testingThinks that all testing is the job of the testerHas written automated unit tests and comes up with good unit test cases for the code that is being writtenHas written code in TDD mannerUnderstands and is able to setup automated functional, load/performance and UI tests 

Programming
 2n (Level 0)n2 (Level 1)n (Level 2)log(n) (Level 3)Comments
problem decompositionOnly straight line code with copy paste for reuseAble to break up problem into multiple functionsAble to come up with reusable functions/objects that solve the overall problemUse of appropriate data structures and algorithms and comes up with generic/object-oriented code that encapsulate aspects of the problem that are subject to change. 
systems decompositionNot able to think above the level of a single file/classAble to break up problem space and design solution as long as it is within the same platform/technologyAble to design systems that span multiple technologies/platforms.Able to visualize and design complex systems with multiple product lines and integrations with external systems. Also should be able to design operations support systems like monitoring, reporting, fail overs etc. 
communicationCannot express thoughts/ideas to peers. Poor spelling and grammar.Peers can understand what is being said. Good spelling and grammar.Is able to effectively communicate with peersAble to understand and communicate thoughts/design/ideas/specs in a unambiguous manner and adjusts communication as per the contextThis is an often under rated but very critical criteria for judging a programmer. With the increase in outsourcing of programming tasks to places where English is not the native tongue this issue has become more prominent. I know of several projects that failed because the programmers could not understand what the intent of the communication was.
code organization within a fileno evidence of organization within a fileMethods are grouped logically or by accessibilityCode is grouped into regions and well commented with references to other source filesFile has license header, summary, well commented, consistent white space usage. The file should look beautiful. 
 2n (Level 0)n2 (Level 1)n (Level 2)log(n) (Level 3)Comments
code organization across filesNo thought given to organizing code across filesRelated files are grouped into a folderEach physical file has a unique purpose, for e.g. one class definition, one feature implementation etc.Code organization at a physical level closely matches design and looking at file names and folder distribution provides insights into design 
source tree organizationEverything in one folderBasic separation of code into logical folders.No circular dependencies, binaries, libs, docs, builds, third-party code all organized into appropriate foldersPhysical layout of source tree matches logical hierarchy and organization. The directory names and organization provide insights into the design of the system.The difference between this and the previous item is in the scale of organization, source tree organization relates to the entire set of artifacts that define the system.
code readabilityMono-syllable namesGood names for files, variables classes, methods etc.No long functions, comments explaining unusual code, bug fixes, code assumptionsCode assumptions are verified using asserts, code flows naturally – no deep nesting of conditionals or methods 
defensive codingDoesn’t understand the conceptChecks all arguments and asserts critical assumptions in codeMakes sure to check return values and check for exceptions around code that can fail.Has his own library to help with defensive coding, writes unit tests that simulate faults 
 2n (Level 0)n2 (Level 1)n (Level 2)log(n) (Level 3)Comments
error handlingOnly codes the happy caseBasic error handling around code that can throw exceptions/generate errorsEnsures that error/exceptions leave program in good state, resources, connections and memory is all cleaned up properlyCodes to detect possible exception before, maintain consistent exception handling strategy in all layers of code, come up with guidelines on exception handling for entire system. 
IDEMostly uses IDE for text editingKnows their way around the interface, able to effectively use the IDE using menus.Knows keyboard shortcuts for most used operations.Has written custom macros 
APINeeds to look up the documentation frequentlyHas the most frequently used APIs in memoryVast and In-depth knowledge of the APIHas written libraries that sit on top of the API to simplify frequently used tasks and to fill in gaps in the APIE.g. of API can be Java library, .net framework or the custom API for the application
frameworksHas not used any framework outside of the core platformHas heard about but not used the popular frameworks available for the platform.Has used more than one framework in a professional capacity and is well-versed with the idioms of the frameworks.Author of framework

scriptingNo knowledge of scripting toolsBatch files/shell scriptsPerl/Python/Ruby/VBScript/PowershellHas written and published reusable code 
databaseThinks that Excel is a databaseKnows basic database concepts, normalization, ACID, transactions and can write simple selectsAble to design good and normalized database schemas keeping in mind the queries that’ll have to be run, proficient in use of views, stored procedures, triggers and user defined types.
