The title of this post is not really accurate, but I can't think of another way to say it. This post is related to my earlier one on what a Drupal Developer does day-to-day. Here, I will talk about some of the skills required of a Drupal developer. I am not aiming for completeness in this post (that's a goal for another time) but I will try to list all skills required to build a regular Drupal site, deploy it, and keep it running. Some of these skills are foundational whereas others may be only needed for specific requirements. Moreover, not all skills are required at a high expertise level. For some roles, even awareness is enough.
