* Clarity by which you communicate in writing, such as emails. If you cannot do this you will never be put in charge in any kind of supervisory capacity. * Task management, which is the ability to efficiently accomplish multiple small tasks without notes, reminders, or JIRA. It’s the notion of getting a bunch of shit done. * Perceiving things in terms of facts. That means not guessing at measurements and not making assumptions. Most developers cannot do this. The inability to do this on any level is the most identifiable trait of Asperger’s. * An ability to question the assumptions of others or even the modes of existing common practice. Most people generally cannot do this and it is this, not programming mastery, that makes for 10x developers. * As for more technical things the ability to dive deeper and lower without leaving the current language or platform is what typically separates the masters from the commoners. These are the people who can solve problems others cannot, because the non masters are always more restricted by current conventions.
