Something that is funny (read: not funny at all) to me as a front-end engineer who is on the front-end side of the spectrum is that anytime I've done or talked about promo papers, the one thing that is always brought up is "make sure you can show your ops work". Yet we have countless L6 engineers who don't know how to write CSS effectively or know anything about creating accessible UIs or using things like grid and new CSS methods to make layouts. That's never a barrier to them getting promoted.
@hbuchel Senior engineers when I do backend work: “have you added unit tests/integ tests/load tests/logs/metrics/alarms/docs? Have you measured latency/TPS/CPU/memory usage?”
Senior engineers when they do frontend work: “I’ve copy-pasted it from that website it works on Chrome but I don’t know how lol”
