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

Comments

The non-tech stuff seems to be most important at this level. One thing I notice some senior SWEs lacking is instinctive understanding of how prioritize and which tradeoffs to make to maximize their value. Beyond that it seems to be almost entirely political / luck of the draw. Figure out how to play the game.
