I have been plugging away for ages that soft skills and business savvy are equally as important in a development role if you want to be exceptional at your job. Good programming skills on their own will only ever get you so far.
I know and work with many exceptional engineers who have brains for problem-solving and their craft, but are totally out of their comfort zone and depth if they have to deviate from what they are used to doing. No soft skills, no communication ability and just technology acumen is not a winning combination in my mind.
All things software & product, honestly - FrontEnd, BackEnd, DevOps, ML - as long as we're solving massive problems.
My code is used by millions of users globally - Potatoes make me happy
Hahaha I've come to learn the hard way that in the end, it's all for the customer like you said. Its, unfortunately, the sad thing about "titles", it confines you to a role and makes you think, thinking otherwise is wrong.
Honestly, your comment is perfect in the way it is, there's nothing for me to add but to clap at kind, sir!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
