The “Break it Down” Blog

Very interesting write-up on the Software by Rob blog about the personality traits that the best programmers have. How many of you read this list and think “That’s me!”… sort of like reading those lists “What makes the perfect husband?” or “How to know if you are a good lover” type lists: “That’s definately me!”

Anyway Rob mentions that the key personality traits are:

• Pessimism
• Angered by Sloppy Code
• Long Term Life Planners
• Attention to Detail

Well bad code does make me made and I do always worry about my ideas failing… so I guess that means I’m an incredible software developer!
