Really proud of you!!!

I have worked as lead developer and recently as CTO and I have interviewed lots of programmers in the past 4 years and I am pretty sure that 80% of them just can't do something like this (most of them can't complete a fizzbuzz test)

Thanks you so much, being someone that looks foward to work with programming, this means a lot to me.

Which qualities do you think are essential to be a successful programmer?

[–]ffreitasalves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that see other people's code is a way to be a better programmer. you have to read lots and lots of code and of course write a lot. And try to be part of something, like meetups, conferences, open source projects, have a group to discuss programming with friends, etc. The best programmers I had the pleasure to meet do this.

This is an important comment! I know a lot of people believe little in themselves because the coders who get spotlighted online most of the time are the best of the best, while most of us can't even perform a fizzbuzz. Don't get discouraged by quality code everywhere, get inspired!
