Thank you, darkerside! One meta-goal of the post was to figure out how I can grow further. Are there things on top of your mind which I should be exploring nex

  One thing I'd expect to see more of in this type of article would be understanding the business domain. It sounds like you understand the value of doing so from your section on leaning what others around you are doing. But I think over time, you'll see that learning those specific business nuances is what separates the promising engineer from the seasoned veteran who hears a business problem and already knows the 4 ways it's been attempted to be solved and why they didn't work. And importantly, still has the optimism to try again in a different way! I recognize every organization is different so YMMV. Rereading my post it may have came off as a bit of a backhanded compliment and wasn't intended as such. Terrific post. I think it will help a lot of people.
