WRITE CLEAN AND WELL TESTED CODE
As features are added and changes are made, time passes
and the original developers move on or forget some of the
project details, or if the quality of the code is not good,
changes become increasingly risky and more complex.
Writing clean code makes the code easier to understand
going forward and is essential for creating a successful maintainable product.
CRITICAL THINKING AND PROBLEM SOLVING SKILLS
Problem Solving is the result of critical thinking. It involves discovering
and anaylizing the problem with the goal of finding the best possible solution
to overcome the obstacle. One must then complete some problem solving steps to succeed through:
- Reasoning
- Evaluating
- Problem Solving section
- Decision Making
- Analyzing
FUNCTIONAL PROGRAMMING
Java 8 introduced Java developers to functional programming
with lambda expressions. This Java release
effectively notified developers that it's no longer sufficient to
think about Java programming only from the imperative, object-oriented
perspective. A Java developer must also be able to think and code using
the declarative functional paradigm.
programmers use expressions to tell the computer what needs to be done, but not how to accomplish the task.
MICROSERVICES
Microservices improve your architecture’s scalability. With monolithic systems,
you usually end up “throwing more hardware” at the problem or purchasing expense
and difficult-to-maintain enterprise software.
With microservices, you can scale horizontally with standard solutions
like load balancers and messaging.
Every unit of the entire application should be the smallest, and
it should be able to deliver one specific business goal.
DESIGN AND AN EYE TO DETAILS
Design skills would always be number one
but aside from that, there is always AN EYE DETAILs:
That would involve not just the output but the design process and even in dealing
with clients. One should know how to look into every single thing the client says
because this can give you the clue on how to get the client’s approval and what to
avoid when transacting with him. So, having good attention to details has a wider
scope than merely looking into the mistakes you might have done for your design.
BUILDING AND DEPLOYMENT
Continuous deployment is fundamentally changing how software is
being built. It makes software development faster, leads to higher
quality products and happier teams and customers. It gives you more
visibility into progress and costs. It helps you be more innovative.
Why wouldn’t you want all that in your development team?
A team that is used to quickly shipping experiments and
getting back user-validated results fast, will soon find itself naturally
innovating. The team will be constantly generating new ideas and testing them out.
