Comment on What Makes a Great Developer?

Comment by Dave Brown ( http://www.webdesignforseo.com )

I'm not much of a developer, however I work with them on a regular basis. The ones that standout from the crowd are the ones that can communicate. Being able to work well in groups and explain what they are doing are two extremely rare qualities for developers. These qualities make them standout above all others.

I agree with the lazy part, these types of people tend to simplify matters.

Funny. I put the "We could automate that..." as my quote in my email signature. ; )

OK who's been secretly documenting my work habits? You couldn't get any closer to describing me there unless you used my name.

Hi.

I was asked this question recently in an interview with a recruitment agency. I replied Heart/passion for development but it enthused me enough to blog about it.

I believe this must be blog 168,456 on this subject matter now. Is this passion or obsession and is there a line between those two!!!!

Many thanks.
Lee.
