I’m a developer with 15-years of experience in the .Net stack as well as an interest in Angular.I’m known for taking legacy projects and updating them so they can be maintainable and have new features
I started writing software in 1984. Over the years I worked with many languages, technologies, and tools. I have been in leadership positions since the early 2000s, and in executive roles since 2014.
To me, the most important skills a developer needs to have are:
1) Practicing the craft with the intent to learn, and not with the sole intent to get something to work.
2) Always thinking about abstractions for every concept. If the customer says "2" you should think "a number". If the customer says "I need this to look pretty", you should think "let's parameterize everything that could make something pretty".
3) Love for technology.
4) Collaboration, collaboration, and more collaboration. The time for a lone developer changing the world is passed.
5) Ability to estimate the cost of solutions. Most developers I've seen having a hard time simply had no idea how long it would take them to resolve a problem. It is difficult, but if you work on it you get better overtime.

Well if it's not overly rude I did just post this question maybe you could give your input here?
