<hr id = "KaplanMossHired">

You were hired to write code. Many developers make the mistake and think that their job stops there. That’s not true. In fact, you have two jobs:

1. Write good code.
2. Be easy to work with.

The first part tends to be the easy part.

[...]

Being easy to work with doesn’t mean being a sycophant or a pushover. [...] Mostly, it means that you understand the value of relationships, and build them as carefully and intentionally as you build frameworks and libraries.

[...]

Most of the hardest problems we face have both technical and human components, and the best engineers know how to solve both.

I only really give two pieces of career advice. The first is that you should be super easy to work with, the second is that you should get really good at something you also find as easy as possible.
