What We Want to See in Good Developer?

"Industries are saying It’s becoming more difficult to find good developers and developers are saying what you want to see in good developers." 

Here are a few key points which I feel as a good developer are important.

Attitude

A positive attitude is one of the most important qualities of a good developer. Sometimes "getting shit done" attitude is much needed. you have to come out of your comfort zone.

It can happen after all hard work and efforts, a good tester can still find defects in the code. In those cases, acknowledge the good tester and rethink yourself how you could make sure to avoid such a mistake in the future.

How quick to learn

Whatever you know is important but at the same time when got new things how quickly you learn is also equally important. The pace of learning new things and applying that knowledge is crucial. 

Approach on a problem solving / Debugging Skills

It shows a real picture when you stumbled into a problem and how you are approaching that issue. how you are isolating things rather than giving a hit and try so your debugging skills will always be put on test. 

Quality in term of Work

Quality is important. how do we make things maintainable and sustainable?  

Your code should be readable as a story not like a puzzle. Timelines, Deadlines, and pressure will always be there and that does not give you an excuse to deliver crappy code at a fast pace. Your credibility goes for a toss once you start doing it. 

"Speed without sustainability is a disaster." 

The real cost is not writing code. it's in maintaining it.

Ability to live in abstraction and Realization

The person has the ability to speak in abstraction but at the same time have the ability to dive into code when needed and has the ability to back up and discuss the concept. that ability to live in both worlds in abstraction and realization is really awesome.  

In the era of where Technology is changing really very fast. It’s important to stay adaptable and embrace the changes. Pick up the latest tools and form your toolbox. Good developers should be open-minded. Ready to change their opinion upon discussing with teammates. They can not be like Most developers who are wasting huge amounts of time by lazily re-creating implementations of pre-existing functionality (reinventing the wheel).

I hope you enjoyed. 

Thanks and stay tuned.
