What are the super powers of programmers?

The other day I was watching a series with some people with super-power.

Super-powers allow you to make things much better and much faster than what people without those powers could do.

So I was wondering what super-powers do programmers have? I found 3:

  • Deep knowledge of a version control system. (Today it is git).
  • The knowledge and the will to write tests.
  • The knowledge how to set up a CI system to run the tests on every push and on every pull-request.

What do you think are the super-powers that programmers can have?
