What's one tech skill you think is underrated?

@codevsdev Clear code writing that everyone can understand

@codevsdev debugging your own code without blaming the framework first

@codevsdev reading source code when you are stuck. anyone can google an error, but the people who just open the actual library and read what it does are unstoppable. least glamorous skill, most compounding one over a career.
