What makes a good programmer?
Aug 5 2010 12:12 PM
After a good discussion of topic,
Are you Experienced Programmer
, I would like to start this new topic to discuss features of a good programmer/developer.
What I have seen from most of the new guys, they focus on coding part only. But today, definition of a programmer/developer is changing. You can be good at coding but if you miss in other areas, in my understanding, you are not a good developer.
Here are some of the key thing I focus:
1. Clean designer
Those days are long gone when you would expect a designer hand you out the page design. You need to focus on minor details, alignments, borders, colors and so on.
2. Crisp coder
If you copy and paste my code from Google, no good for me. There are always chances to improve any code and I mean any code. I need to see some extra effort besides copy and paste.
3. Killer Tester
You must be a killer tester. Before a tester finds your bugs, you must know them and kill them before deliverable.
Discuss your thoughts and qualities of a good programmer.
