To be a great developer you don't need just knowing how to code , and hard tech skills, but also you must have a good soft skills ,so I share with you a list of 7 soft skills that will help you in your work.
1 - Problem-solving: you need to have the ability to know the reason that caused the probleme , then searching on solution and fix it .
2 -Communication: is most important skill for any developer, becuase you need to speak with your colleagues, managers, customers , and also in meeting , for that you need to speak clearly with confidence ,therefor spend mush time listening to others persones and don’t interrupt while somebody is talking,adding to this you need to be patient and focused.
3 - Time management: before start your work should to write your to- do-list and set the the priority goals and period time of any task ,moreover take a balance between a work and personal live.

different things you never do it before ,such as writing, art, crafts, cooking,and also practice a lot .

I would also add persistence to this, which I think goes hand-in-hand with patience. It can be challenging when your code isn't working sometimes and you might feel like giving up or feel hopeless. So being persistent and pushing through is an important skill to have as a developer :)
You are right ,persistence it's important skill for developers.
