I think that largely depends on what kind of programmer you are. Like it or not, systems development, app development, backend, frontend, integrated circuit development all have their own mindset and associated challenges and skills. What is your most essential skill? the drive to learn.
- catwind7 6y agoYeah - I think that drive to learn and improve also directly relates to what peter norvig touches on. I think a big part of _keeping_ that drive if you have it (or cultivating that drive if you don't) requires a sort of being able to experience delight / happiness from learning new things. Even the little things. Like today, I learned a tiny shortcut in writing rails routes. Not a huge game changer obviously, but little things like that make me smile!
