The road you need to take to become a senior developer is huge.
It is a difference that most developers underestimate — I know I did back in my ea...

Although I agree with a lot of things said, I'm sad this post is self-sponsoring your 'coaching' service.
Couldn't agree more. This isn't an article, it's an ad.
It's true, but the post didn't fail to add something for me
but even this ads have some insights
i see no probleme with that
just dont over do it
But there is also the case when one starts looking beyond just coding and thinking 'big picture' enough to see that being a 'senior developer' is not the way to go either and there other paths beyond just being another engineer.
Agree on that. At the end of the day, 'senior developers' are just a part of a bigger system, the company they work with. On top, they're the last part (they "produce" for most people, even if what we do is mostly design). Which means that if anything goes wrong before the implementation, the developers will get the consequences in the face.
What kind of consequences? Complexity impossible to deal with (sometimes, most complexity comes from the business), micro-management, bad hiring process, bossy managers, under estimation of complexity and entropy, short deadlines without possiblity to change the scope, agile and scrum used to pressure the developers... The list goes on.
Additionally, in my experience, people in a company don't listen to developers, because they're hired to do (again, 'to produce'), not to advise.
Being independent can solve some of these problems I guess.
I think we should get rid of this "Senior" titles everywhere. I find senior engineers being just bossy as if they know every thing that is out there. And pay all engineers for what they are worth - lots of money :)
Hi there, this post might fit better as a DEV Listing. It’s a dedicated area of the platform where community members and organizations are encouraged to publish information related to events, products, services, job listings, and everything in between.
Thank you so much for this!
Excellent approach as always in your texts.
Changing the mindset of the programmer is the initial step to go from just another coder to an expert developer.
Nice post ! Thank for thisss
Senior must payer more junior or middle
