Many people might think that developers are asocial nerds. Their only interest is technology. They’re on this planet to produce the dreams of their managers.

Big surprise: this is not true.

A developer should primarily care about producing value, not code. Value for himself, value for the others, value for the clients or companies he works with.

What does producing value means, for a developer?

• Being aware about the business domain of the company he works with, to translate it correctly in software.
• Using his skills to be able to solve a wide range of problems. This doesn’t have to be related to technologies or even programming.
• Always trying to improve the quality of the codebase he works on. It has to work, being maintainable, understandable and scalable.
• Finding and designing solutions in a good amount of time.

That’s the mission of this blog: improving your value, for you to produce valuable solutions. In short, to become a good, well rounded, valuable developer, with more control and autonomy.
