> Experts focus on the essence I think this is one of the strongest points of a good developer, and what makes them such good problem solvers in many situations. Often you get confronted with problems, from say a client or through user feedback, which don't amount to much more than "wishes" - with no clear and/or conflicting solutions. A good developer is able to distill the problem down to its core, finds out the true nature of the issue, can communicate that back, while also offering solutions.
