Are You A Good Developer?

I came across a interesting write up on what makes a good developer.

‘Good’ means having qualities that are desirable and distinguishing. From a developer’s perspective, these qualities are both technical as well as non-technical. Here are some qualities that a developer should possess if he/she aims at becoming a ‘good’ developer.

 Suprotim Agarwal mentions fourteen qualities that he thinks makes a good developer.

• Good Communication Skills
• Positive Attitude
• Read Books
• Practice, Practice and Practice
• Discussion/Newsgroup
• Knowledge of Networking and Databases
• Blog/Write Articles
• KISS
• Think as a Tester
• Consistency is the name of the game
• Attend technology seminars and events
• Jack of all or Master of one?
• Stop Complaining

Suprotim provides a description on each of these topics. You can find his write up here: http://www.dotnetcurry.com/ShowArticle.aspx?ID=182
