These points are exactly the struggles I had at my first major development job. And from talking with others I know that I was not alone in them. My poor communication skills were a huge blind spot for me, but fortunately I had an excellent manager and team who worked with me to turn weaknesses into strengths. I learned to swallow my pride and ask questions of the people I worked with. I started to recognize when I was getting stuck on a problem and needed a fresh perspective. I learned how to write clearly for an audience which doesn't have all of the domain knowledge I have accumulated. And I learned that sometimes it's much better to say "hey! I found a bug here!" and move on to more pressing concerns than to try to fix every problem you come across. As I look back I'm glad to be able to say that I've grown significantly as a developer. I won't say that I'm perfect, but I'm definitely accomplishing more now that I've learned how better to interact with my teammates and collaborators in a larger business setting.
