The Staff Engineer's Path – Book Review
Where do all the hardcore engineering jobs live? I&#x27;ve been bothered by the fact that most advanced engineering roles like &quot;staff&quot; actually mean &quot;manager who does system design as well&quot;<p>Where are the docker&#x2F;redis&#x2F;next.js&#x2F;linux kernel&#x2F;qt&#x2F;roller-coaster tycoon creators? Where are the people creating amazing software and do they get a special &quot;advanced developer&quot; title?<p>I guess, I&#x27;m curious if there are actual roles in companies for people who love their craft and create software others can&#x27;t. Most companies seem to be consumers instead of creators and only offer Jr.-to-Sr. level roles around making a CRUD API micro-service collection.
