Growing up, amongst all the superheroes, I was most inspired by Batman. The top reason was that he was an ordinary person, but his tools made him extraordinary. As a software engineer, I loved tools/apps that gave me superpowers - going from vim to IntelliJ - superpower, switching from mouse to keyboard shortcuts - superpower. You get the idea. Over the years, there were several soft skills I picked up, that fall into a similar bucket of superpowers. The top 3 for me are - writing, speaking, and empathy. In this article, I’ll share how writing has helped me and some tips for you to turn it into your superpower.
