> good communication skills are fundamental for developers within a software team
This is absolutely true. Fundamentally, a great engineer is doing a TON of communicating -- writing technical designs, whiteboarding different approaches, explaining reasoning in code reviews, breaking down tasks for more junior engineers, coaching and mentoring others, interviewing... and about a million other things. The role of communication only increases as the problem complexity and scope increases.
