After Senior
When writing great code is no longer enough.What it covers
- The shift from solving problems with code to solving them with decisions
- Engineering work under real-world constraints: people, processes, and organizations
- System complexity and long-term technical consequences
- Early leadership signals and architectural responsibility
- Real cases, postmortems, and hard trade-offs — not tutorials or hype
Why it matters
- Many senior engineers hit a growth ceiling without understanding what changed
- Technical excellence alone stops being sufficient for impact and progression
- The cost of decisions becomes higher and less visible over time
- Few engineers are taught how to operate effectively at this stage
- Recognizing the shift early helps avoid frustration, stagnation, and burnout
