Communication is important. Like, more important than almost anything else.
You can't improve yourself without feedback via communication.
You can't compromise without communication.
You can't have a meaningful relationship (work or romantic) without communication.
You can't build something useful without communicating with those you're building it for.
Life is all about communicating meaningfully with others. Don't put off figuring that out like I did.
- tragictrash 5y agoThis. I thought I was a great developer for the last 5 years. Turns out I'm trash, and that's OK. The real value I bring is being a mediocre developer with great interpersonal skills and great communication ability. Soft skills are just as important as tech skills. Also, make sure you excerscise and eat right. So much pain and suffering can be avoided by just spending a couple hundred dollars on a nutrition class in your teens, and going on an hour walk each day.
- bvi 5y agoThis is absolutely correct. I'd go one step further and say over-communicate as needed. It's not stupid to ask questions. Ask away, process, and clarify.
