I started to focus less on development. This was my track, it will be different for others, but: seniority meant understanding user / business problems and then making better decisions about what to build. I enjoy the quip that “juniors find complicated solutions to simple problems, mids find complex solutions to complex problems and seniors find simple solutions for complex problems”. Sometimes the best thing you can do as a dev is to re-frame the problem, and I think a certain level of experience or confidence is needed to do that. But you can definitely cultivate the skill and get there sooner.
