#32In general I would suggest not putting too much emphasis on these sorts of lists, especially once you're an experienced programmer.

A lead developer needs a whole bunch of skills that aren't listed anywhere on that list. 2. More s…
While I agree with you, just look at jobs ads. They match the list a lot more than your description of a problem solver.

#34One of the things I find missing from this list of soft skills. These lists are all concentrated in the technical skills, but the professional value gets realized through the soft skills.
But few people ask for soft skills, and no one tests for them beyond noting it if you do something wrong.
"Must be an excellent communicator" - unless they notice you have a hard time talking to them in the interviewer they don't check for it. They don't ask you to write an email for something, or create a presentation, or explain some difficult technical concept to a non-technical person, etc.

No SQL Server, or any of the Azure PaaS - service busses, event hubs, stream analytics, Data Lake, etc.
Fairly standard/boring "we're making a monolithic app in a dynamic language" stuff.

Is it too early to call rails apps developed 10 years ago "legacy"?

true... it is hard to test or measure soft skills, but the project result depends on them almost the same as technical skills.
Btw, those are communication skills. There are many others that are also important
