If you want to be a senior engineer, make sure you’re working on communication. Engineering leaders don’t have time to look at code, they rely on comments from engineers that give them sense checks on quality, etc. mostly that comes from engineers who are senior and above.

I’ve got to say, Go and Elixir have some of the best developer experiences I’ve ever seen. If you haven’t tried them out yet, you gotta give them a go!
