Nice writeup thanks. Althoug i am a bit sceptical about this fast progression. There are also many intermediate developers that stay on this level about some time. But maybe is title progression different in different companies.

One thing i really took of this article is the ebook. Can you also suggest this version, from a different author, but including 2019 ES6 amazon.com/Professional-JavaScript... ?

cheers mate

Your skepticism is justified. There's a lot that goes into promotions other than your raw ability as a programmer. A lot of luck in timing is a big factor, and I definitely think the timing worked out in my favor.

I can't say I know that author, but it does seem like the same book. I'm sure it's equally as good, if not better. Cheers! 🍻
