Good question. In my PhD work, I try to identify - and later on, hopefully amplify - so-called _non-technical_ skills that are needed to succeed as a software engineer. First of all, software engineering is my field of expertise: read the [about me](/about) page if you didn't know that yet. Secondly, I wondered what else besides the technical mumbo-jumbo one really has to master in order to be a _proper_ developer. This goes beyond programming languages, frameworks, typing and productivity knowledge.
