This is a popular idea, but developers can also fall into the trap of thinking they can code their way through every problem. Tweeting and blogging especially may in fact be extremely important, if done well and purposefully. Same with (some) meetings, depending on who you're meeting. You can build the best damn software in the world, but it won't matter if no one knows.

The opposite could be said as well. You could tell everyone on the planet about your awesome software, but it won't matter if you never build it.

  Of course. You need both. But that's not the typical failing of a developer.
