I'm trying to think of some skills that give you the edge over others, either in a professional setting, or everyday life. In my eyes, those would be multilingualism, FACS, and having a thorough understanding of cognitive biases and logical fallacies.
Simplifies communication about progress, builds confidence in ability to deliver, and makes it easier to avoid getting lost in rabbit holes. Especially in situations where there are lots of unknowns - unknown programming language, multiple tools to choose from, etc.
