To be a good developer you need to be a good database guy as well. Coding some templates together is only half the job. You need to know how you can tune your queries and come up with the best way to get the data in and out.
I've seen too many devs that simply don't care and then wondered why their application was slow. Nowadays you need to have CFML, a CFML framework, JQuery (or some other framework) and SQL/Stored Procedures (and learn the different syntax for MS SQL, Oracle and MySQL), etc. in your tool belt available. Obviously, it doesn't hurt when you also know your way around with MongoDB or some other NoSQL database. Other then that, be open minded and be willing to learn from others each day. Apart from the coding, I also always check what their motivation is when they get up in the morning :-) If you got all those marked green, you should be a winner!
