As software developers, I think we can agree that our coding skills are universally applicable. In my experience, there have been more than a few instances where my work has evoked comments from others expressing disbelief. It's funny because you hear the same things over and over again. "Woah, how did you do that?", and "Where did you learn to do that?", and of course the "You suck" comments.
Knowing how to code is certainly a very valuable life skill to have. But, what about other skills? In
what other areas do you have knowledge or experience with? What are they, and how do you use them?
How are they of benefit to you? Is it worthwhile for others to learn these skills? Why, or why not?

Probably in that order.

Learning how to read people. I spent years studying how to. Unfortunately, this also put my stubborn butt in a lot of arguments (I'm not perfect) because not everyone wants to know or can handle the truth or will know the truth but never admit it, etc. But, it's learning how to read people.
Even doctors will lie to you. Learn to read people.

Does breathing count?
Iβve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

I had the same thought.
1. Allowing heart to beat
2. Breathing
3. β¦
Breathing is key to stress release! I use it multiple times an hour at work.

I'm not really a software guy, I'm an electronics guy who HAS to program.
I would say based on this morning 'self control' I had written so embedded code for positioning a servo motor to allow a screw to be fitted and then rotate 90' for a home position. The great Programmers decided that this was wrong (read harder for them, you know having to add 90') So a jig that had been approved wired in need the board updating (like a mug I had blown Read/Write fuses) so had to replace the controller...

I'm sure he would understand. The local police, however, probably wouldn't.

Well, the skills I've acquired over time as a software developer don't always translate into a positive in real life.
I'll leave it to XKCD to provide an example.

Translating what the customer says they want ("customer" includes "manager" for those that may remember when TQM / ISO-9000 was all the rage) into what they actually need. This can be generalized to any relationship.
|
|

|

I was also going to say "translating." I was thinking more of between groups of my "internal customers" in the company. Translating desires between laser physics folk, marketing, mechanical engineers, firmware/software engineers, electronics engineers, R&D management. And then there's translating field failure reports into something useful.

"I already told you! I talk to the engineers...."
lol
Yes though. I've worked with a bunch of the world at least so far as people who spoke languages I do not.
When people translate from their native to English they can say things in English which are exactly the same words as someone who has a different native language doing the same thing. But these people mean different things.
You only know that if you know them or if you know the common ways the individual/individual's culture tend to phrase things in English.

I was reading others for inspiration, but I don't even need inspiration. This is the one.
Which really, if we're simplifying a bit, it comes down to empathy.
Put yourself in customer shoes with customer problems but with your own technical chops to figure out what to do about them.
But I also think if you develop this skill then you can be really useful outside yourself. You can also be a contributor who sort of mediates, catches, and corrects misunderstandings that can pit the deck a month before launch.

I usually have less lumber left over after building a fence.
"Before entering on an understanding, I have meditated for a long time, and have foreseen what might happen. It is not genius which reveals to me suddenly, secretly, what I have to say or to do in a circumstance unexpected by other people; it is reflection, it is meditation." - Napoleon I

My training and experience as an engineer is broadly applicable to problem-solving. I'm the Mr. Fix-It and the Mr. Put-It-Together in my family, although my daughter seems to have acquired the knack (despite a B.S. in Biology).
The best skill I've developed though is my writing ability. Being able to appreciate your audience, organize your thoughts, and then express them is profoundly useful. It's unbelievable at times when I deal with a smart, well-spoken engineer, and then their email reads like a prepubescent kid with dyslexia on Adderall.
