Strategic Teamwork

In a connected world with competitive and fast-changing markets, it's rare for a solo engineer to build a product that stays relevant in the long term. In most situations you are going to need a team in order to consistently build something to a large audience, especially if you are building enterprise software. Doing effective work and growing a career in software requires developing the skills necessary to work in group. You can be the best programmer and master the discipline to deliver high-quality and high-performing software, but if you are not able to collaborate with other people in your organization, it's likely that your work won't have as much impact or deliver the expected value to users.
