Most people can't communicate effectively. They can write words and make sounds, but the amount of accurate information being transferred is minimal.
Programmers gets all the shit when others can't communicate, since it isn't until you actually try to write it down into a program that all the missing pieces people failed to communicate upstream start to show up. Programmers jobs wouldn't be hard if other people actually knew how to communicate properly.
Something I've seen many experienced programmers say is that one of the most important part of the job is to be able to quickly and accurately get requirements and feedback from the customer. Maybe studying interviewing techniques would be a good idea?
