A good software development leader is able to balance their desire to tackle the hardest problems with the need to prioritize the tasks that will be most impactful for the customer. If you ignore the first part you'll be hundreds of thousands of dollars deep into a project before you find out that it can't be done. If you skip the second, you might be able to build something really cool that no one wants.I'm a pretty decent software developer--with a handful of rare extra skills that make me an exceptional addition to any software development team. These extra skills include:1) Very strong work ethic -- I write good quality code quickly, 5 days a week. 2) Ability to communicate, prioritize and document -- I give my variables concise meaningful names.3) Exceptional Cognitive Complexity -- I'm comfortable refactoring enterprise applications.4) Solid grasp of mathematical concepts of programming -- I can tell you the O(N) of a function.
