Ask HN: What do top engineers you know do that others don't?
1. Don't bitch about legacy software2. Are willing to help with getting proper requirements3. Don't need a JIRA task for everything4. Don't say they are done if something is untestable5. Are willing to do stuff other than their skill (eg. one of the graphics required for the project is too big, top engineer opens up gimp, resizes and continue. Bad engineer will report to manager that design team did shitty job, reassign JIRA ticket, write two emails and wait for new a graphic)6. Top programmers deliver well packed, documented software, keep repository clean with easy setup steps accessible for everyone.7. Top engineers enjoy what they do, and are making the project enjoyable for everyone, keep high morales and claim responsibility
