    Missing perhaps the most important skill: Human to human communication, allowing you to:

    • Discover the real requirements for your task by talking to the end user/stakeholder.
    • Be able to propose and discuss alternatives to the requested solution, after you learn the real requirements.
    • Clearly and timely communicate obstacles that occur during any phase in the project.

    I suspect it is missing because most developers, myself included, dislike human communication. We like computers because they give us honest and logical answers.
