I love that the article focuses on interpersonal skills... too often the knee jerk reaction (as software engineers) is to view "skills" through the narrow lens of engineering (various computer science topics, competency in a language, mathematics, etc).

As I've grown I find soft/interpersonal skills to matter more and more and in many ways, now that I'm a seasoned engineer, trump the hard skills in terms of what impacts my career trajectory. I'd advise any junior/intermediate career software engineer to take the advice from this article seriously.
