What is interesting about this article , from Aleksey Shevchenko, aimed at application developers on how to succeed at job interviews?
People skills are number one. This is not say that technical ability or business knowledge is not a pre-requisite. It isn't possible to be a doctor without having detailed knowledge of medicine, or a mechanic without knowing the internal working of a car. The same goes for programmers.
But who gets to the top of their profession, and how do they do it? Is it by being factually/technically correct but obtuse and arrogant, or by merging your technical skills with an awareness and understanding of how other people operate?
You guessed it... Become an excellent programmer, but don't forget those other 'softer', but no less important, skills.
