6. Enhance your
communication skills
While programmers are working with machines, the software you build is entirely decided by people - your customers, other developers on the team, and managers. Programming is a people’s job, and people need to communicate. Being a great programmer might mean knowing the right language and tools, but if you possess the ability to communicate your ideas clearly and empathetically, then you possess something that is nearly as valuable as programming skills.
From guiding you throughout your resume to upgrading your soft skills, think of it as brushing up the front-end to your back-end stack of skills.
