Mainly, organization. For instance, having a folder with previously made components that are useful for most projects is efficient and helpful.

Developers need to be more than code-generating grunt workers.

01. Coding don't cut it any more

Breadth and depth

Developers need to be better in two ways: breadth and depth. They need to understand the breadth of human interactions in their team and with the things they build.

02. The big caveat

  • be more techy

and

  • be much more human                                                                                        

    03. What the internet says

  • Googling for 'essential web development skills' brings up what you'd expect. Framework knowledge, x-browser, CSS and JS. They list frameworks you should know, platforms you must be writting for and new trends you should be keeping an eye on.                                                                                    

    Understand the medium

  • 04. The things we build with

  • 05. Devops

  • Developers without production knowledge more often produce code that isn't suitable for production, by using configuration or features not yet on the production stack. Because they aren't aware of the problems of the production environment, they code to complete the feature rather than to deploy it to production.                                                                                                                

    Understand the stack

  • Mysterious work

  • Handy tools

  • 06. Dev'll fix it... perhaps

  • Debugging

  • 07. What users want

  • Competitive market

  • 08. Drawing and writing

  • Stay sharp

Thank you for inviting me to this discussion.

In my point of view,

1. Problem solving - Finding out the issues in the application and applying optimal solutions

2. Learn new technologies and adapt to changes

3. Understand the requirements and domain

4. Avoid complexity in both presentation and design

5. Be organized

6. Be a team player in all sense.

Either it be a web development or any other development, PROBLEM SOLVING is one skill that makes you great and stand out. Knowing new technologies or new frameworks won't help you much unless you solve problems with those knowledge. So, learn a new framework/knowledge and try to solve a problem with that. Keep solving problems and grow higher.

I think keep learning new things, keep an eye on new technologies and upgrades whether you are an open source developer or a Microsoft developer and specially keep coding instead of keep watching tutorials.
