Timeless software engineering skills:

1. Not feeling scared to change code you didn't write
2. Empathy for your users and for your collaborators

I'd hire someone with these skills any day.

Lee, and through him Marvel, recognized that superheroes were still fundamentally human, capable of all the same flaws and fears as anyone else.
