Brett Chalupa, 2022 The Difference Between Average and Great Developers
Re fl ections on over a decade of collaborating with others
I’ve noticed some similar qualities in the best developers I’ve
worked with. ✨
I try to be like these developers.
Passionate about programming 💖
Always learning new things 📚
Books Screencasts Personal Projects 📖📼👩💻
But they have other hobbies too. They aren’t only programmers.
🚵
Watch trends but don’t change tech every other month 📈
Focus on what doesn’t change 🪨
Use new technologies & techniques to solve active problems they
have 😌
Dig deeper into the source code 🕵
Solid track record for completing challenging projects 🚀
Engaged with their work & team 🤝
Drive & design their code with tests ✅
Think about their work in a larger context 🧐
Take on necessary work that isn’t always prioritized 🙋
Focused 🧘
Kind & helpful ☺
