In Part 2 of Allen Ding’s session we get down to the pragmatic details of what makes a great software engineer. As you would expect the answer is never 100% straight forward and what Allen looks for in Southeast Asia has been very different than what he experienced in Silicon Valley, Netherlands or South Korea. We also cover what makes a great CTO and all the possible signals a non-technical person could possibly use to help single out a strong candidate who is good at software development or a great CTO. We also dig into shipping products fast vs collecting technical debt and Allen’s view around that and lastly here about Snappymob’s time when they were able to develop popular apps that have hit the top spots in App stores.
