Be as young as possible. Know the latest tools and tech. Make sure to point out anything older than 3 years as legacy and should be rewritten. Also know REST and claim anyone who implements it doesn’t actually know REST. But then again GraphQL is far superior so call anyone still using REST a boomer.
