There is an incredible danger with increasing seniority that you deal entirely in abstractions and don’t build things. Or worse—you think that building things is for juniors.

🚩 You build the platform but nothing on the platform.

🚩 You build the framework but nothing with the framework.

🚩 You devrel but it becomes 100% rel and 0% dev.

Don’t fall into this trap! Be your own customer—keep building 🏆

@zachleat i might be a weirdo but i came up thinking seniority (of position, not time) correlated with skill
@exchgr seniority is only a measure of power 😅
@zachleat my puny junior mind was blown when i first fully internalized this lol
