They needed this developer to help them understand what they needed. Every project I’ve worked on (even personal projects) has a fair amount of this.

Sounds like that developer inherited a problem at work and wants to make it someone else's problem. Solving those problems is part of their job.

Developer Experience I suppose

Presumably Developer Experience

trimbo | karma 4220 | avg karma 4.72 · | 2013-09-02 20:12:58+00:00

I've worked with all levels of developers who do that.

I am pretty sure there as boatloads of developers that want to do good and even know what needs to be done just as in every single company I have ever worked with.

Must have been some experienced developers.

And devs are in the perfect position to take on this responsibility. They usually have sufficient domain knowledge and know what it takes to build stuff in this context.

I have never met such a developer - most devs I have met, are way more eager to learn the next shiny thing than just getting the job done.

Usually developers trained the company

dhimes | karma 9548 | avg karma 2.09 · | 2012-08-24 21:44:37+00:00

You had developers do WHATTTTT????

Communication and knowledge should be considered part of the product. You often times still need these kinds of developers to deliver even this aspect. Basically someone who groks the project so thoroughly that they can synthesize disparate pieces of information into something holistic and absorbable.

Sometimes software developers are humans.

pardhugunnam | karma 1 | avg karma 0.5 · | 2023-09-25 07:51:22

This is definitely something many developers can relate to.

peteretep | karma 19492 | avg karma 3.65 · | 2016-12-17 01:06:37

I've worked with plenty of developers who knew what they were and massively overused them without any thought as to whether they were appropriate...

But that's thing... your job as a developer is to help the customer figure out what they want.

techer | karma 427 | avg karma 1.66 · | 2017-02-07 22:38:04

Developers tend to be intelligent.

> As a developer

agumonkey | karma 29727 | avg karma 1.44 · | 2016-01-08 03:24:34+00:00

It surely made developers feel a lot.

I read the entire article, twice. Nonetheless, the confusion that set in initially never disappeared. What is the takeaway here? What is specifically advisable in order to facilitate developer happiness? I get that it’s important to invest in tools and training - no mystery there. But something more concrete was expected. What did I miss?
