Comment on Ask HN: What non-technical skill would help you most in your career in 2016?

Comments

What helped me most is to have conversations with strangers. Try it in real life. Talk to the guy sitting alone at the bar. Have small-talk with the other person pumping gas. This will help you professionally.

I second that. Been able to initiate small talk with anyone you meet just out of the blue is invaluable. And it will affect both your personal and professional life.
