What does "developed logical thinking" mean?

Question

IT terminology

A couple of times I came across in the vacancies of a junior rails developer the requirement to have "developed logical thinking". By what criteria can one understand - how it is developed in me, and how can it be developed?

Answer 1

Don't you know? This is the same as focusing on results and the ability to work in a team.

Answer 2

This requirement specified in the vacancy is magic words, a tribute to fashion.
There is a gentleman's set of skills, offhand I remember "the ability to build cause-and-effect relationships, make generalizations and, conversely, reasoning from the general to the particular", etc. etc.
In theory, HR should determine whether the applicant has it. In practice, often he not only does not know how to do this, but he himself would fail such a test.

Answer 3

Eicharov can also be understood by looking at such questions and the ruby-on-rails tag :(
I would call one of the most important elements of logical thinking - the ability to pose a question to the right subject at the right time. And there are always more questions.
For example, if you can’t understand why in a given class method is protected, but, it would seem, in a similar method in another class - private, here you need to raise the question of who is responsible for this code and immediately, as the question came in.
But the question of what logical thinking is you need to ask yourself yourself and not immediately, but after reading at least an article on Wikipedia
.

Answer 4

Do not worry. You definitely have this one.

Answer 5

Someone understands this as the ability to solve logical riddles and problems)) But for a programmer, IMHO, this is the ability to independently convert the task of the authorities into a solution algorithm.
