Top 10 traits of great programmers

How to become a good programmer has become the focus of our attention again recently. Here are the traits I think we need most:

Good at problem solving.

Both energetic and lazy.

Be able to understand other people’s code.

Passionate about programming.

Fall in love with learning for the sake of learning.

Good at math.

Have good communication skills.

Powerful debating skills.

Extremely optimistic.

Extremely pessimistic.

1. Good at solving problems - I hope everyone can realize this. Most good programmers can find solutions that others cannot.

2. Being both motivated and lazy – this surprises many people. The reason why programmers like to raise questions is often because they are "too lazy" to take the wrong path. Driven by this idea, they will work tirelessly to simplify problems and simplify tasks. That is, they are eager to get the job done, but the process wants to be as efficient as possible.

3. Being able to understand other people's code - This is crucial. Many excellent programmers are blocked from advancing to "greatness" because of this. It doesn't really matter how good you are at rewriting - but you'll need to collaborate with others on existing projects, draw on open source code when starting new projects, and learn good techniques from existing code bases, and that's all Requires the ability to understand other people's code.

4. Passionate about programming - You must love programming. In most cases, passion is the native driving force for greatness.

5. Fall in love with learning for the sake of learning - learning is like sailing against the current. If you don’t advance, you will retreat. This is a never-ending thing.

6. Be good at mathematics - at least have a good grasp of calculus. In other words, if you don't know the basics of algebra and trigonometry, you basically can't become a great programmer.

7. Have good communication skills - this means they are able to express their ideas clearly and contextually. I have met many great programmers. Although they cannot communicate well when talking about other issues, once it comes to their field, they can talk clearly, explain the problem clearly, and propose solutions.

8. Strong debating skills - the same reason as point 7.

9. Extreme Optimism - Great programmers can immediately determine that they can complete the job after just thinking about it for a moment.

10. Extreme pessimism - great programmers, when they lack the necessary information to make correct judgments, will crazyly insist that they can't do the job.

The following are supplements (not necessary for all great programmers):

1. Extremely organized.

2. Good at managing others and programming projects.

3. Able to write good design documents.

4. Able to estimate time.

5. Read a wide range of technical books.

6. Be able to transfer programming skills to other areas of programming and draw inferences from one example.

7. Write the code the first time.

8. Possess skills in other fields.
