Hey dev community! 👋
I'm curious about your thoughts on this - what core competencies do you think a frontend developer should have after 5 years in the field?
I'm asking this because I want to benchmark myself and see what areas I might need to focus on for growth. The frontend landscape changes so quickly, and I'd love to hear from developers at different experience levels about what really matters.
Some areas I'm thinking about:
- Technical skills (frameworks, tools, languages)
- Soft skills (communication, teamwork, problem-solving)
- Architecture and system design
- Performance optimization
- Testing strategies
- Leadership and mentoring
What would you add to this list? What do you think separates a 5-year developer from someone with 2-3 years of experience?
Would love to hear your perspectives! 🚀
