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 🏆
