When it comes to developers, we all know having the right technical skills is a must. However, the non-technical skills are just as important. In this What’s News post, we'll discuss five of the most crucial non-technical skills that developers exercise that every employee should work on.
1. “Communication, Communication, Communication”
Communication is to software development, as location is to purchasing a home. It is critical. When they are not meeting internally daily to review project status, the developers are connecting with clients bi-weekly for project updates.
2. No Egos
Every developer will run into problems in every project. In fact, our developers are encouraged to raise challenges they are currently facing so problems can be solved as a team. Accepting failure as a learning opportunity and effectively searching for solutions separates the good developers from the great ones.
3. Learn to Love Targets
Our developers juggle both customer deadlines and internal targets formed during weekly team meetings. These deadlines are important not only to maintain customer satisfaction, but for team accountability.
4. Thirst for Knowledge
Developer success depends on the ability to embrace learning while life is in constant motion. As Microsoft pushes out new technology, Ablesoft assigns a team member to present the updates to the rest of the developers to stay relevant with the rest of the industry.
5. Keep it Simple
Finally, do not "over engineer". Meaning: the most complex solution is not always the best. Additionally, if something works do not spend time recreating it. Our developers took this motto to heart in building the ASI Core. It serves as the technical bedrock we use across our applications to avoid starting from scratch for each project.
Our group of developers are unique in that they exhibit all these skills in addition to being technically skilled.
