Sharing about 5+ years of my experience…

How to be a good Software Engineer?, How to increase productivity with time? What are the disciplines we should have to follow?. These are some questions that a developer has arisen. I have provided some solutions to these problems here.

I’ve seen and working with a lot of developers throughout my career. Some are very talented, some are average and some of them need a lot of development. but among all the good and excellent software developers, I have seen these few common characteristics.

Consistent in Everything

So this is my first point. This basically means that you do not necessarily need to follow all the best practices in the software world all you have to do is just be consistent with the codebase consistent in the way they structure their code and structure the project and that make all the developers within the team follow really easily. that make all everyone in the team so clear about the direction and how to apply new code for every features to fit the standard of the codebase. it’s enabled everyone in the team to follow the same approach and anything happens we can easily detect it and apply the necessary fixes or changes.

Clear Logical Reasoning

The second characteristic that I want to mention is good developers have really clear logical reasoning. When you are selecting the technologies or when you are going to architect your project, most of the time, don’t have any clear logical proven idea about what technology you are gonna select. All they talk about is that this is good but no clear explanation for it. This ability has come with a lot of practice and the secret behind the success is every time they updated with the new features. They can organize a team to follow all the necessary steps in order to complete the features or apply a new framework or technology.

Clear Communication

we all know is vital for all roles within the organization. Always you should be clear about information, what that you want and what you want to transfer to the other people. It makes everyone organized and so understand your point. when you have clear communication and clear understanding between each other, you can complete your goal or teams’. You can do fast everything without any risk of miscommunication. All features can be done on time with good quality.

I think you’re a really good developer if you have all these characteristics. And if you are with these qualities, you are the one that fits in your team and the team will go ahead with good consistent by depending on your such behaviours. if you have good logical reasoning, then you can save a lot of time. again very vital clear communication is a must, even in personal life.
