Along with all the other suggestions: - Go a little bit rogue. Focus on what you think it's important for the company/team to be doing regardless of what "smarter" people are telling you to do. - Find non-tech people within the company and solve their problems. Write small in-house applications to make their lives easier. - Take time to learn something new, and then share what you've learned with your team with a tech talk. e.g: Machine Learning, Continuous Delivery, Functional Programming - Find someone either inside or outside the company to mentor: I like to start with the RailsGirls guides and expand out from there.
