In this episode of the Mix the panelists talk about Seniority. They lay out their own personal journeys towards getting a senior title and how they define seniority for themselves - especially how it goes beyond the ability to write code well.Among other things they discuss:how to become fluent in reading and writing codehow side projects are useful but not required to become a great developerhow senior developers tend to approach problem solving and how to get better at thathow interpersonal skills play at least an equal role as technical knowledgehow specific tech know-how becomes less and less important the further developers climb the ladder - at least the managerial ladderhow organizational structures cannot be ignored when building solutionsThey close with some picks which they deem valuable for anybody who'd like to dig deeper into some of these ideas.LinksAre We Really Engineers? * Hillel WayneSeven Languages in Seven WeeksConway's law - WikipediaTeam TopologiesThe Little Elixir & OTP GuidebookPic
