It's both what you say and the way you say it. (what you say is as important as what you say)

The question is not just what you have, what you say, but how you pack it. Unless you can communicate and share with them, you have the best idea, the most coolCode, Or a better architecture will eventually be fruitless.

As a developer, we must communicate with each other. Communicate with customers, demand analysts, project managers, technical directors, boss, and other developers. Communication is a skill that developers must possess.

I have seen many developers who, without exception, have a good coder with comprehensive technology, ideas, and innovations, but most people lack communication. Next, let me talk about communication issues.

1. Do not communicate in order to speak.
Communication: When you send messages, you are communicating. As the communication party, you need to understand the needs, interests, and abilities of your audience. We have all attended such a meeting: a speaker is giving a long monologue, while others are sleepy. No one listens to what he says, and everyone is hoping to end the meeting early. This is not a conversation, but a speech, you know, it's a nonsense.

2. Select the time
Timing: specific time and opportunity.
You won't talk to Boss about your salary increase when the bid fails.
On the contrary, when the bid for Boss is just successful, let's talk about salary ......:).
As long as what you say is appropriate and relevant to the content, you may be able to become a successful person, right?

3. Be a listener
If you only speak in an endless stream, no matter how much information you say is sent, the timing is good, and the effect will be halved. Learn to be a listener, of course, there is a saying that makes sense: "If you don't listen to others, they won't listen to you." It's equal, right! It is more helpful for you to clarify your point of view. Maybe you can learn something from the conversation.

4. Interaction
Of course, if you only listen in the communication, it is a big mistake. Remember to reply to others. If you ask others in the communication and they do not respond, then, you will think they are rude, and so do others.
