What traits does it take to be a good developer?

In this round­table dis­cus­sion, we delve into what traits we believe it takes to be a good devel­op­er. We’re joined by spe­cial guests Jen­nifer Blum­berg from Next Solu­tions, Paulo Elias from IDEO, and Ran­som Rober­son from Ven­veo for a fan­tas­tic discussion.

We sep­a­rate out the traits that it takes to be a ​“good human” that are fair­ly uni­ver­sal to traits that are spe­cif­ic to being a good developer.

Are there some traits that make you a great devel­op­er, but a ter­ri­ble human (and vice ver­sa)? Are there some traits that we con­ven­tion­al­ly con­sid­er ​“bad” that can be good?
