SENIOR ENGINEER: -What's the expected traffic? -What's the read/write ratio? -What's the latency requirement? -What's the consistency requirement? -What's the failure recovery strategy? -What's the actual bottleneck? The difference between a junior and senior engineer isn't how many technologies they know. It's the questions they ask before choosing them.

Most code reviews are ego battles not real security or quality checks.

The difference could be: β†’ Company paying ability β†’ Interview preparation β†’ Negotiation skills β†’ Location β†’ Timing β†’ Previous job switches β†’ Business impact Your salary is NOT a direct measurement of your engineering talent. Never confuse compensation with competence.

Remember: The best software engineers aren't the ones who know everything. They're the ones who never stop learning.

I gave AI a backend problem I’d normally spend hours solving. It produced a working solution in minutes. Then I noticed something: The code was correct. The architecture was wrong. That’s when I realized: AI is getting very good at writing code. We still need engineers to decide what code should exist in the first place.

Software engineering is one of the few careers where experience doesn’t automatically buy confidence.

Version control mistakes are rarely fatal. Almost everything can be undone if you stay calm and read what git is telling you.

You can judge an engineering manager by how many people from their old teams actively try to work with them again.
