The actual 10 things every .Net developer must know to be guarenteed a job:

1. VB and C#
2. SQL
3. Some form of web skills such as HTML5, javascript, php, etc.
4. Databases & data management
5. People skills
6. Knowledgeable of Windows, UNIX, and iOS technologies.
7. Some experience with C++ and Java
8. Bill Gates is still alive and possibly watching you since Windows is integrated with NSA API's.
9. Donuts will make bosses happy.
10. Being a nerd was worth it

Sadly I qualify not even half the criteria

@Jacob Roman

I am guessing by your number 9. you are a cop!

[dclamp]

under my criteria, I fit. Under JR's not so much.

I like dclamp's list better than jr's.

Know how to type?

Know how to type?

That's only a suggestion.

[namrekka]

That's only a suggestion.

And Starbucks isn't?

[dclamp]

And Starbucks isn't?

Starbucks is not suggested. Coffee Bean is a requirement.

[techgnome]

Starbucks was the Functional Spec... Coffee Bean was the Design & Implementation detail.

How about:

1. Knowing that a casual coder or even a programmer isn't necessarily a developer.

A Coder, a Programmer, a Hacker, a Developer, and a Computer Scientist walk into a Venn Diagram

7.Steve Jobs is not longer alive

Doesn't NOT {LONGER ALIVE} actually = {STILL ALIVE}

"OR" am I being too LOGICAL...

[dclamp]

Doesn't NOT {LONGER ALIVE} actually = {STILL ALIVE}

"OR" am I being too LOGICAL...

Actually... he is alive. He is living with Elvis and TuPac in Pacoima

[Merrion]

Doesn't NOT {LONGER ALIVE} actually = {STILL ALIVE}

"XOR" am I being too LOGICAL...

Ten things every developer should know:-
0) Indexes start at position zero
1) The intelligence distribution curve of the entire internet is pretty much the same as anywhere else - about half the up stuff there is total rubbish
3) Your indexes need defragmenting sometimes
2) brevity is not the same as clarity
4) your backup plan and disaster recovery plan is insufficient - disasters are messier than your plans assumed
5) No good list of ten things actually has ten things in
