I think you are wrong. An exceptional programmer who cannot communicate is basically useless.
- crdoconnor 10y agoIf you are giving them a sufficiently realistic task, their communication skills will be tested more thoroughly than if you decided to just have a nice chat about tech. I think the importance of developers' communication skills is context dependent. It's more vital in some roles than in others.
