First off, congrats on graduating and getting your career started. You have some exciting times ahead of you. I've had quite a few friends and family members ask me the same general questions, which became the basis for a book I wrote

You don’t need to maintain a sky high salary during the length of a 30 year mortgage though. You can refinance every 3-5 years to reduce your monthly payment as you pay down the principal. Your mortgage payment can go down quite significant

Could you elaborate on your third point about Inking->Structure app? I've been thinking about this lately and am interested in what exactly you're looking for.

Thanks! I know there are some old urls in there that no longer load successfully that I need to clean up. It's been a few months since I've done any work on this but maybe this is some good motivation to get back to it :)

I also made something similar called Stumblefun[0], trying to recreate that StumbleUpon experience but without the need to install a toolbar. Right now it's only focused on SaaS products you may find useful but I'd like to add oth

Your boss told you exactly what you need to do: take more ownership :) You already mentioned you own one part of the codebase, why not expand on that and find another (hopefully critical) part of the codebase and become an expert/owner

This is pretty cool and I like the UI. Congrats on the launch! For anyone that's interested, I created a "Programming Career Advice" group: https://openland.com/invite/sX8kTKR

I'm not sure if it has an API or any kind of integrations, but I know the Hemingway App[0] can detect passive voice, and possibly other features you're looking for. [0]: http://www.hemingwayapp.com/

How about a technical support role? You still get to solve technical problems and you're helping/interacting with customers directly without being responsible for shipping new features or fixing production downtime incidents.

Lots of good replies already, but I would also consider a senior engineer someone who puts the team first. They admit mistakes early, look for ways to improve not only the codebase but the software development lifecycle and their teammates

Besides experience mentioned in the other replies, I'd recommend reading open source code. Search for open source projects related to the programming language of your choice. Other ways to find good projects to read are to look through

You should take a look at "Founding Sales: The Early-Stage Go-To-Market Handbook"[0] by Pete Kazanjy. I haven't read the book myself, but I know some of the other books Holloway has published are high quality and filled with
