As we approach 2024, it's time to set new programming resolutions. From learning new languages to contributing to open source, and practicing cleaner code to continuous learning, let's elevate our coding skills to new heights.

Missing perhaps the most important skill: Human to human communication, allowing you to:

  • Discover the real requirements for your task by talking to the end user/stakeholder.
  • Be able to propose and discuss alternatives to the requested solution, after you learn the real requirements.
  • Clearly and timely communicate obstacles that occur during any phase in the project.

I suspect it is missing because most developers, myself included, dislike human communication. We like computers because they give us honest and logical answers.
