@neriald even if you want to be a specialist and not a manager, it's still relevant

@darksideofyay I’m more of hard skills first kinda guy as long as the person is not a prick.

@neriald that's usually more common in our field, but soft skills in leading positions are a must. I've had bosses and seniors with no emotional intelligence and that couldn't spearhead anything

@darksideofyay managers for sure, seniors not so much in my opinion. I’d prefer a senior who can code to a senior who I can have a chat. People with skill recognizes and accepts others with skill anyway.
But again, unless they’re insufferable pricks that insult people out of nowhere.
