What traits does it take to be a good developer?

In this roundtable discussion, we delve into what traits we believe it takes to be a good developer. We’re joined by special guests Jennifer Blumberg from Next Solutions, Paulo Elias from IDEO, and Ransom Roberson from Venveo for a fantastic discussion.

We separate out the traits that it takes to be a “good human” that are fairly universal to traits that are specific to being a good developer.

Are there some traits that make you a great developer, but a terrible human (and vice versa)? Are there some traits that we conventionally consider “bad” that can be good?
