This statement has never been more true:

Remember, in the tech industry, standing still is akin to moving backward.

Especially with AI now becoming more mainstream and getting new developments every week or month. Didn’t check the right blog/newspost? The workflow you’re using is now outdated and slow.

Missing perhaps the most important skill: Human to human communication, allowing you to:

Discover the real requirements for your task by talking to the end user/stakeholder.
Be able to propose and discuss alternatives to the requested solution, after you learn the real requirements.
Clearly and timely communicate obstacles that occur during any phase in the project.

I suspect it is missing because most developers, myself included, dislike human communication. We like computers because they give us honest and logical answers.
