The Responsible Developer

Developers are the translators between ideas and code. They translate ideas about functionality to code so the end users can benefit from a usable program. This translation has to be done in a careful and responsible way. It should be done by a responsible developer.

What is a responsible developer then?

It is a developer that writes clean, testable and maintainable code. A developer who can explain and describe his work. Someone that knows that he grows by helping his fellow developers and never settles for second best.
