Habits Of Great Software Engineers

Focusing beyond the code
As a developer you will code 20% of your time. You should excel at coding nonetheless, but it won't be enough to be great

Efficiency / Antifragility
Making sure everything around you runs smoothly and has forward momentum

Joy of tinkering
Build projects, try out frameworks, build stuff on the side. Keeps the spark alive

Knowing the why
It's important to know why your code does what it does, too many abstractions nowadays that rarely someone thinks below the level of their language e.g JS devs not thinking about the engine that runs their code

Thinking in systems
Knowing how your code impacts not only your individual system but other parts of the business/application/life

Tech detox
Recharging away from your monitor makes you a better programmer

The art of approximation
Knowing important tech numbers to approximate calculations when making decisions when programming
