Developer requirements

Learn to focus on the customer requirements rather than the technology. That might mean become a subject matter expert in the end user application. you must be able to focus on the business problem the client/customer wants to solve. If you can see the problem/need from the customer's perspective, be able to suggest process improvements, AND be able to recommend the appropriate technologies to assist in those improvements, you'll be in demand. Discussing requirements with a client, articulating issues to a higher up, or even just giving guidance to and managing jr. developers - all require consistent and concise communication skills that can make a great developer even more valuable. You have to understand the business of the customer enough to be able to talk to them, ask the right questions and finally develop the piece of software they expect.
Next to technical experience, business experience is becoming more and more important. If you have other non IT related skills like communication skills, coaching skills, ... then this also adds extra value to you as a software developer.However, the basis of a good software developer is and stays a solid (technical) knowledge and experience of software development. Additionally we have to pick up other skills and experience in business related areas, communication, planning, organization of a project, ... So, I think in the future we software developers will spend less time on coding while we have to keep up the effort to get the code quality better.
In the end, I think the job of a software developer will be "richer" because we are able to do more then just develop software.
