I feel you. Even before I became a staff/principal engineer, I found this industry only enjoyable and effective when you're not afraid to take on different hats. I can't imagine doing just one of these.

Obligatory "I'm still here but barely" post - between job-changing (yes, leaving #Thoughtworks after 12 years!) and parenting, I haven't had the time for much social media.

I'm also finding that a lot of my social stuff has moved to #slack or #discord - not sure if this is a wider change or just my circles?

Oh, and some of my social is on #LinkedIn as now I need to find a new job - anyone with senior/principal #StaffEngineer jobs, UK hybrid or remote, I'm at https://www.linkedin.com/in/korny :⁠-⁠)

I used to be a technical recruiter, so it was a joy to narrate "Staff Engineer: Leadership Beyond the Management Track" by @lethain with a foreword by @whereistanya. It has great advice for senior software engineers who want to advance on a technical track without becoming an engineering manager.

PS Indulge me & check out the little animation I made for it!

A tableau of a modern workspace, including a white keyboard and mouse against a black background, and a black smartwatch and tablet against a white background. The tablet displays the ebook of "Staff Engineer" by Will Larson. Text says: "Career Advice For Staff Engineers. Leadership Beyond the Management Track." An animated arrow points at the title of the ebook. An upbeat jazzy loop plays in the background.
