This week, I focus on two of the most important skills a developer can have, which also happen to be two of the hardest ones to teach:

The thought process to break down more complex problems.
Being able to dive into existing code and quickly make sense of it.

These are probably two of the most important skills you can have as a developer, but they don’t get much attention because they aren’t as easy to convey as “follow along as I code this up”.

I’ll give some tips on how you can improve your skills on both of these though, and as a bonus it can even be a little fun!
