WHAT MAKES A GOOD DEVELOPER?

@ Thursday 12:15 - 12:35

The best cooks chop vegetables fast, but is that the essence of being a good chef? The best authors have good vocabularies, but is that the essence of being a good writer?

Today we measure developers by technical parameters like how many programming languages or frameworks they know. In job interviews we check that they are able to implement efficient sorting algorithms. But is that really the essence of being a good developer? Absolutely not. We need to stop giving the impression that what matters in programming are these niche technical traits, that at best are irrelevant, and at worst actually contribute to us being less able to delivery good quality software.

Christin will discuss what skills are actually relevant for producing good code, and how our current beliefs are all too often just making things worse.
