[...] I like this article that I like to post this in my blog. It is a collection of tweets from twitter that describes what a great web developer should be, I like the tweet about “An extremely valuable trait is to NOT love your code above all else. You have to be aware of your flaw” and “I think its the drive to be creative in code; be it the viewable design or the code used – don’t forget the drive to learn.” Most developers lack or don’t put themselves to practice about these good traits because they talk big to themselves and look down on other developers who keeps on learning new things like me.

Great web developers have to be smart, cunning, and know how to program in at least a few languages… JavaScript and PHP for me!

Passion is what keeps you eager to learn, so yeah, that has to be one of the most important things to keep in mind.
That doesn’t make you a good developer, but with skills combined, it is a killer!

Good and interesting article, Drew. Keep it up.

I love the tweet by Rokoh. You can’t just know what to write to do something, you need to know why it does it. If you can do this then you will be able to do more complex things.

Thanks for adding in my tweet!

The unending passion to the technology, and the belief in the techniques. U cant be a complete dev, when u dont believe in the credibility of the techniques tat u use. Its synonymous to the self-confidence of your own skills !

Great article drew, glad to see my suggestion was helpful

But i also think there are so many other attributes aswell, developers FTW!, (even though i design aswell).

I think I might accually agree more with you than what I wrote! Passion most likely what’ll make a developer succeed, rather than being able to manage time, focus, listen, refine code or what ever.
