The latest thing I've learned in software engineering is that people skills matter way more than anyone has told me. Most SWEs think they're working with code, but mostly they're working with people through code (esp APIs). SWEs tend to lack the skills to listen to their colleagues/customers and respond in an understandable way. Myself included. I've seriously considered part-time bar-tending jobs before. In other words, I think there are parallels between serving food and serving data.
