Re:Do Communication Skills Matter? on Thursday August 21, 2025 @08:17PM (#44979755)
I’ve found that communication skills can make or break even the best coders. Writing clean code is one thing, but if you can’t explain decisions, share context, or align with teammates and stakeholders, projects drift and good ideas get lost.

Curious if others here have seen companies actively train engineers in communication, or if it’s still something people are expected to figure out for themselves?
