Developers should understand that "hard" and "soft" skills are a false dichotomy. The skills some folks call "soft" - communication, cooperation, etc. - are the core skills necessary to any kind of collaborative work, including ours. If you can't effectively communicate with humans, you will never reach the top of your field.
