Development Standards, Part 0.5 - People
August 25th, 2006 — ddelmoliOk, I suppose you can’t apply standards to people and their personalities… But you can try, can’t you? I thought this article about personality traits of the best software developers was spot on. In a nutshell, the best software developers are:
- Pessimistic in the short run, optimistic in the long run
- Angered at sloppy code
- Like to plan ahead
- Pay attention to detail
I like it. Simple, short, to the point.
