top three technical skills
Sunday, May 15, 2005 at 4:47PM Recruiters keep asking me my top three technical skills. Let's see if I can figure it out -- here's an unordered list.
- Object-oriented design and programming
- Specification-oriented interface design and implementation
- Disciplined software engineering: checking for and reporting error conditions with useful error messages, meticulous use of version control, commitment to clean design
- Taking advantage of language and library features
- Tracking bugs and odd behavior to their source by reading code
- Finding, evaluating, learning, and using new tools: libraries, applications, utilities, books, tutorials, etc.
I don't think these will make much of an impression on recruiters, but I think a programmer would appreciate this list. Any suggestions?
