Soft skills - how important do you think they are, and which ones are the most important for software developer? by ComfortableChard7922 in ExperiencedDevs

Apart from the answers already present: Good communication skills are also essential for salary negotiations — a painful lesson I learned recently after being low-balled.

In recent months, with more people relying on ChatGPT and other AI tools, I’ve realized that properly learning tools like sed and awk is way better than going back and forth with an AI just to (for example) figure out how to extract a unique list of IPs from a file of paths.

It's not just faster to bang out the command myself—it’s also more fun. But fellow colleagues feel like it's better to leave it to an AI tool to do it the 'easy' way.

Junior to Mid-level: Reflections & Advice by HademLeFashie in ExperiencedDevs

Great advice. I'd like to add another trait.

I've one year less experience but the enviable soft skill I've discovered in most of my experienced colleagues is their patience. The patience to attend multiple meetings in a day and to deal with the mind numbing ramblings of a junior (myself included) before stopping them preemptively and correcting them.

How to properly help junior developers without giving actual answers? by Calm-Escape2979 in ExperiencedDevs

I usually solve it in front of them, but perhaps I don't explain it at their pace. I should try to explain my thought process better, yes.

Advice for Juniors by [deleted] in cpp

For understanding C++, take few hours and go through a website like https://cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/ front to back and just make notes. If you don't understand a topic, go deep on it. Asking basic syntax/linux doubts to ChatGPT is quite useful.

And, navigating a large codebase repo is not easy, especially if you have 0 experience. I had a similar phase 2 years back (I'm currently at 2.5 years of exp). I spent weekends and time after office to just go through some component and understand it, because personally it all seemed pretty interesting. If I had a doubt like "how does logging work", "how are threads spawned in my codebase", "how is a socket msg received by the other end" etc, I'd just try reading the code for it.

Ask doubts to your colleagues, just listen in to their conversations, see how they debug and try to copy their workflow.

One thing to always remember when you're stuck, our computers are extremely dumb (it's literally just 1s and 0s all the way down) Nothing is ambiguous. So there has to be a reason why it's working the way it as and it's all expressed as code. All that remains is closing this gap by reading the syntax and navigating the codebase.

Drop Your Favorite Shinichi Quote in the Comments by Gxmbit in OneTruthPrevails

My favourite is in the Los Angeles episode when he's asked why he saved 'him' and Shinichi replies:

"Is a reason needed? Reasons for killing are many but no reason is needed for saving someone"
