Rethinking the Developer Career Path – Randall Koutnik | The Lead Developer UK 2017

This guy sounds so much like jesse eisenberg it's nuts.

mediocre manager... or mediocre architect

Very helpful talk. thanks for sharing

Amazing talk!
I'm working as a junior UI developer and could totally relate the three stages explained here. I was looking for some perspective on why does my manager repeatedly asks me to start solving problems on my own when I'm just good at implementation. The transition path looks through to me now.
Thanks

Thank you for a great talk Randall!

It seems to me that this model goes hand in hand with the Dreyfuss model of skill acquisition where the point is that you learn differently at different skill levels. My problem has been that of how to measure the skill level.

Thank you!

Engineers have had this problem for 7 decades. Be glad you don't have a worse problem.

I came here from coding tech, but I doubt I'll come back after that

You took down a copy of this talk on "Coding Tech" for copywrite? (It's gone from my likes via copywrite claim by White October Events).

This is an amazing talk, but Coding Tech has a much larger audience than this channel, and the title "What does senior mean" is a (personal opinion) better name for this type of video on that type of channel.

By taking this video off their channel, you're doing nothing but depriving tens of thousands of people from randomly finding it on Coding Tech's playlist (which are frequently recommended to me, which is how I found this talk in the first place).

I totally agree with you !

such a great talk! i've followed you on twitter for a while but didn't realize you were this eloquent :)

"To offset that karma, he’s adopted a cat that wakes him up at night whenever a new JS framework is released." ROFL

By the way, in the talk he explains why "senior" is a vague/misused term but in the description we have: "Randall is a senior engineer at Netflix" 😁

Great talk, couldn't agree more.
