Comment on Ask HN: How to become a ridiculously good back end staff eng?

Comments

1. automation. Write code that removes humans effort.

2. do hard things. Solve problems other people are incapable or unwilling to solve.

3. practice. Rinse and repeat until you get it right. Be insanely persistent.

4. humility. There is no secret sauce. There is no magic toolset, framework, or assistant to do your job for you or cheer for you. Toil in silence and repeatedly fail until you get it correct. That pinnacle of success is the expectation not an achievement.
