Tips & Warnings
Writing quality code at blinding speeds: This is a super-specialty of great developers. They know what quality code is but their skill in writing it at a dramatically high speed is what makes them a super smart developer. Dealing with any problem that has multiple threads and layers, they know long should it take to fix, not getting caught up in finding the world’s best solution. Their code is just “bug-less“ because they write unit tests for themselves.
Interpreting the problem: A great developer will never approach a solution before understanding it fully. He makes sure to completely define the problem, and instead of keeping everything in the mind, he will scribble the things out in a document or on a whiteboard. No prior to this will he plan to meet his superior, as when he goes to the manager there should be absolutely no scope to make any mistakes or misinterpretations. The depth of his understanding towards the problem will make things move fast into various solutions.
Approaching the problem: A smart developer will not jump in too quickly to write the code once the problem is defined. First, it’s time to analyze various options and think about the best approaches to solve the problem. This includes important considerations like what the outcome needs to be, time on hand, quality expected, tools available etc. Then only, he will start with the code.
Confidence in code: It’s basically a developer’s confidence in code that makes his manager confident about it. A great developer has it to its fullest, and it’s all in the ability. The lesser your manager has to worry about “how” and “when” when it comes to your code, the more closer you get to being a great developer.
Confidence in the solution: Going beyond just a great code, great developers are able to dissect the whole problem perfectly and architect a great solution accordingly.
Keeping focused at the client’s requirements: A great code and the best solution! But, in the end if it doesn’t meet the user’s requirement, it’s a complete failure. A great developer will not miss even a single shot and will keep on hitting the bull’s eye consistently! Requirements are bang on and a great developer knows how to handle this. He will find out exactly what the user wants, offer a great approach, ensure him about weekly builds with no bugs, and continue till the last version is built to the user’s satisfaction.
Being proactive and staying up-to-date: Great developers don’t wait for their managers to come and ask them to upgrade their skills. They do it with whatever stuff they find the best to do it. You don’t need to tell them to take a course or refer a book, as you will find them doing it on their own. They keep informed of the important events related to the field. If they want to go on a conference, they will not hesitate asking the company to pay for the trip. They quite habitually attend the user groups for different software specializations and feed their brains by going to forums and blogs on latest developments.
