What does it take to be a great developer?

Eric L. Barnes asked this question to people with several backgrounds.

I love questions that can’t be answered with a simple yes or no. One question that I have been thinking about recently is, just what does it take to be a great developer?

I came up with tons of answers but felt like mine are all through my own lens, so I decided to reach out to a few people from different walks of life and just ask them. What follows is the answer by each person and their profession so you can compare and contrast.
