Being human.
No one is interested in our programming jobs. People want to solve their problems. The important thing is not how the software is made but that it makes people life easier.
Let the client say “no” …Don’t say no. When people ask you to do it for tomorrow… Tell: I can if you give me 10.000.000 u$s.
When people ask for making the app for today ask them: It’s good for you a Powerpoint showing how the app will be? Think about the solution, not in the software. Think about what they actually need.
Social and human behavior it is also a Science like a computer engineer. They also know a lot. They are not simply people for which mathematics is difficult.
When you present the new idea, people think they will be fired. Present the new technology in a way that shows how they can be included.
I think computer engineer careers lack that human touch.
