It's a skill, most in tech don't have it
- vijayr 9y agoI don't know if one needs to be diplomatic all the time - simply being polite (genuinely polite, not fake polite) would go a long way.
- seppin 9y agoa lot of people in tech don't have that skill either.
- adjkant 9y agoThis is true, not sure why the downvotes. Social awareness, diplomacy and frankly empathy are seen by many as soft skills that bog down developers from their actual work. In the end, it's actually in many ways more valuable than the code they write. Finding a decent coder for a web CRUD app is easy. Finding one that can communicate well while doing it is much harder.
