I moved from logistics management (my military training) to software development in the late 1980's. There are differences now, of course, since the web wasn't really around back then, but a lot of things are still the same.
I'd say the most important thing is to always be learning something new. You can't let your knowledge and skill stagnate. For example, my first programming job was writing in assembly language and C. It's now getting close to 30 years since I programmed in those languages. If I had tried to stay with just those 2, I may not have a programming job now.
The second thing is learning how to fit into an organization and team and make a contribution to its success. This can be rather difficult at times but it is essential.
Frontend developer with focus on user experience and a flair for design. Always looking for something new to learn and willing to help those around him. On his free time,I like to ride my bike.
