Great post! I LOVE all of these points! Especially
the most rewarding part of my career has been mentoring less experienced developers and watching them grow into mentors themselves.
I only recently started mentoring others and for me it was like a drug. Once I started doing it, I couldnt get enough. Now I am constantly seeking out ways I can be a better mentor for others.
A lot of younger devs I think look at Senior Engineers and think the only way to get there is to become some crazy coding rockstar. In reality, yes you have to be good at coding, but that is really only half of the battle.

Thank you. I’m glad you like the post and I hope it’s helpful.
Mentoring is definitely a learning opportunity for everyone involved.
