How To Behave At a Software Company?

Posted by timothy on from the answer-may-vary-with-stock-ticker dept.

dawilcox writes "I'm a recent grad and am going to begin work at a software company. I want to make a good impression on my boss and coworkers. I know that performance is usually tracked, but there are also innate personality traits of good software developers that bosses just want to have around. What are those personality traits? What should I be trying to do in order to make a good impression on the people at my work?" (Appropriate side question: What behavior traits would you like your co-workers to exhibit?)

    That wasn't humility. I actually have the BIGGEST ego ever. Nobody's ego is bigger than Mine. ;)

    I am not in the US, why do you assume that, I said I was an Argentinian ... isn't it logical to assume I live in ... let's say, Argentina?

    And, since you were wondering, I have sex every day, thank you very much.

    100% of the Argentinians I know live in the US. Same for 100% of the Brazilians, 100% of the Chileans, and 100% of the Peruvians I know. Granted there's some selection bias and my sample is small...
