In this vein, I wish people would ruminate on a topic like, "Senior Engineering: So now what?". When I first wanted to get into engineering, nothing helped or inspired quite like these posts. But, since I have "made it" so to speak. I feel like I've done the majority of growing and introspection required and now I can basically handle anything a Senior engineer should be able to handle. But... now what? I am kind of at a cross-roads where people tend to either stagnate (I've met a lot of 50+ peers with senior titles they earned 20 years ago), run off to manage people (do I want to do that? I dunno...) or end up as Principal Architects, co-founders, or some similar upper-echelon engineering role.

Not to knock this content, anyway. I found this repo to be well organized and genuinely interesting -- just not super relevant for me...
