What is the difference between a good developer and a slightly better one? Ten times. What about the difference between a bad one and a good one? You have most certainly seen the answer. With today's needs for IT skills, many learn software development. Some get to lead teams and projects. And some even get to design software. But the difference remains. So, what do you need? You could go for ticking business requirements on a sheet of paper and hope that they are done and will not come back as production bugs. Or you could worry less about building the software applications and think more about the business.
