Is attitude more important than knowledge? No it isn't.
Success is dependent on so many factors, the most important being your connections. I've seen many smart developers fail in their businesses, while a well-connected sales guy sold an app via powerpoint slides until he got enough money to hire a couple developers. The sales guy is now worth millions.
In my opinion for success, you need a good network, money to burn, knowledge, and then attitude. The variables affect each other a bit though.
If you have a good network, ALOT of money to burn, and a little knowledge you will probably be successful.
If you have a good attitude, good knowledge, no money, no network, then you will probably fail. At least the knowledge will help you get 9-5 job.
- zamfi 4y agoSurely your smart developers and well-connected sales guys differ in more ways than merely “connections” — in particular, the sales guy, being on the front lines of “what people want”, is surely better-positioned to understand the market he operates in and the problems its participants face, compared with your average smart developer?
