You haven't mentioned which hard skills you've already mastered. * Abstract reasoning - everything in programming is abstraction * Critical thinking - is the first way you've thought of to solve something actually an optimal way? how could you improve it? * Problem decomposition - solve large problems by breaking them down into smaller component problems * Multiprocessing/multithreading and IPC - at some point one process/thread isn't enough * Networking fundamentals - may not contribute directly to better programming per se but will for sure help with debugging/troubleshooting
