This month I want to highlight an article, 3 underrated things great developers do, by Nick Van Nieuwenhuyse. This article is brief, however it surfaces three core competencies that strongly correlate to high quality software engineering. We write code to solve today’s needs, but can morph to accommodate next year’s features. Good enterprise software engineers don’t write clever code; they create code that is robust, scalable, reducible, and replaceable. The author keys in on three traits that help us make good software engineering decisions by respecting what came before us, and creating code that can change alongside the customer’s needs.
