I've been a software developer practically my whole life, and I've never seen anyone with more than 2 or maybe 3 of those qualities. A person comprising all those 10 qualities could only be some form of advanced human.
In my opinion, there shouldn't be a list of any kind to distinguish people's qualities. There's more to it than a simple list, and human beings are already being treated as drones, especially in large companies.
Regarding the list, I can relate to the following numbers: 1, 4, 6 and 7.
I consider myself a perfectionist and am therefore never completely satisfied with my work.
Although I might be lacking in social skills, I enjoy helping my coworkers and expect the same in return.
It's quite common for developers to gain superficial knowledge and consider themselves experts in some particular field. I've seen lots of network "experts" who don't even know how TCP sequencing works. I strive for deep understanding of anything I might be working on. Sometimes the comprehension is beyond me, but that's not an excuse to quit trying or asking for help.
This closely relates to both 1 and 6.
Putting too much pressure on people or trying to reduce a person to a set of numbers is, in my opinion, just plain wrong and could eventually lead to burnout.
Thanks for the article, It's a good overview of highly praised developer skills. Although I personally don't agree with everything stated here, I always appreciate people investing their time in writing.
You've just contradicted yourself. You've never saw someone has more than 3 traits, then you say that you have 4 of these traits 🤔
You just need to open something called Youtube and search for Brackeys, Sykoo.... and you can easily see that these people have at least 6 of these traits.
I agree that big companies treat people as robots.
About the "expert" thing, it's others who have the right to judge whether you're an expert or not. You're right, some people say they're expert, while they miss a lot of information. This mentality prevents them from achieving huge success.
Thank you. Also, I appreciate your time reading the article and writing the comment.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
Utopia or dystopia? 😄
