Number one biggest underrated skill in a developer for me is the ability to manage their focus/effort. This can range from the small (cases to tests, meetings to decline, minor comments in a code review to ignore) to the large (pushing clients to allow a feature to be delayed so that an MVP can be shipped, writing tools to remove manual process from their ownership). The best developers I have worked with are masters of spending time on the important stuff
