- conductr 9y agoNot mutually exclusive. Do both
- CalChris 9y agoWhat you think are technical skills is just currency. Your in depth knowledge of this stack or that toolchain will doom you to maintenance when that currency is discarded for the new new. Your interpersonal skills are tied to your cohort.
- tedmiston 9y agoThe in-depth knowledge is also only as worthwhile ad you can communicate how it affects the company in dollars to the business side. At the end of the day, a competent developer will great communication is a better position to be in than a great developer with so-so communication in most companies. Maybe different in the biggest ones or where you can have very specialized roles.
