In less senior developers I look for curiosity, the willingness to learn, the ability to listen, the ability to admit when they're stuck and the confidence to disagree with others in a constructive way.
In more senior developers I look for the willingness to teach, the ability to admit they are wrong and the absence of condescension & arrogance to less senior devs or non technical folk (in addition to all of the attributes I look for in less senior devs). Being able to deliver a decent presentation is also up there for senior devs.
Hi, I'm Alex :) I'm a Full Stack Software and Web Developer based in Cardiff, Wales. I tend to let my imagination get away with me and in my spare time I make whatever I feel like making.
Very well said. I feel as though hiring managers often look simply for the best skillset on paper, backed up by memorable definitions that you can come up with. Instead, taking the time to talk about what excites you as a developer and what you want to achieve can go a lot further.
I agree with you. Communication is really important on a team. Learning new things and adapt to the implemented work. Teaching and share information is also good for new developers or new teammates.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
