There are so many things. Make simple code is one of them. It’s so cliche. Making progress is more important than making beautiful code. Software is a tool before it’s an art.

Now, much more, I appreciate developers who can carry the weight of a project from beginning to shipping. Making a working software that people actually use is so hard.

@jb55 @PABLOF7z and @Vitor Pamplona remain my most admired developers, in no particular order.
