I think that's a great list you have there!

I also sometimes like to consider 'the ability to handle responsibility and accountability'.

As developers progress in their career, we will start making decisions that have larger and longer lasting impacts to users, the project, and teammates. As we 'mature', we will want get a better handle of understanding these responsibilities, enjoy being responsible for changes, and be able to see the change through.

Thanks Jen!
Your point you raised is spot on in my opinion.
