time and task manage in coding

You aren’t able to judge the business value of any programming task.

related to previous issue--many tachnically strong developers fail to reallize their potential due because they are not able to take a step back and look at their work from the perspective of the business or oganization itself.

strong developers are able to self-manage and make good business decisions about how they choose to invest their time.they will ask questions like this:

Is this the most valuable thing I should be working on right on now? How much time should I invest into doing it?Given the deliverables I have due in two weeks, is there something I can invest in right now that it will make it a lot easier for me to hit the target?

average developers do not--they will take a spec and blindly implement it until it is finished,without counting for how their work related to business goals and impacts other members of the team /other business group.

the highest cost of any engineering team is development time, and average developers waste a lot of time on minutia and technical tasks that are ultimately low business value.
