Someone that has no real internet presence, but here are the things I've tried to mimic from him:
* immense domain knowledge
* accounts for operations (in a myriad of ways)
* code comments are succinct and easy to read
* clever, but not too clever
* uses common tooling
* is a better architect than others with that job title
* communicates well and is a genuinely nice guy
- gaws 4y agoI assume you know this person IRL?
- brodouevencode 4y agoYep, he was an engineer that fell into an architecture role.
- paulcole 4y agoI'll second this answer and expand on this: > communicates well The best people I work with do what they say they will do. Additionally, your entire answer (generally) applies to pretty much any field, not just programming. But I'll also add on that great professionals understand and accept how their role supports/fits into the goals of the business.
- ithrow 4y agoWhat does 'common tooling' mean?
- brodouevencode 4y agoTooling (of several kinds) that is easily available - everything from editors to CICD. I recall having this conversation with him in which he explained that a large part of his job was mentoring/educating/teaching younger engineers. The example he used was in VIM - minimal custom settings and scripts so that it easily translated to others (iirc the only plugin he used was NerdTree). Keeping things basic makes it easier to teach.
