Maybe being a senior software engineer also means that you know the difference between what is important and what not in a particular situation. It is very easy to get caught in something that is not really important and put a lot of energy in it.
Another important area is battling with your ego. And this is something, I am afraid, is never going away. You mentioned that a lot of senior software engineers suffer from imposter syndrome. Maybe someone with imposter syndrome is not that senior yet with respect to his battle with his ego.
- rafapaez 7y agoAgree with what you said about what's important and what isn't in a particular situation. I mentioned it in the video (I said something like "...a Senior knows when to walk away and don't implement certain things...") but I forgot to write it in the post. Your second comment is really interesting. I used to suffer from imposter syndrome but now I realised, as long as you got experienced and wiser, on just focus on different aspects, at a different level. I will probably talk about this topic soon. Thanks for your comment, I appreciate it.
