I generally don’t like “listicles”, especially ones that try to make you feel bad by suggesting that you “need” these skills as a senior engineer.
However, I do find this list valuable because it serves as a self-reflection tool.
Here are some areas I am pretty weak in:
- How to write a design doc, take feedback, and drive it to resolution, in a reasonable period of time
- How to convince management that they need to invest in a non-trivial technical project
- How to repeat yourself enough that people start to listen
Anything here resonate with y’all?

How to convince management to stop throwing money at a dead end plan
In my sad experience, you don’t but simply try to avoid getting caught in the blast radius of it failing. Someone approved/supported the project and someone approved/supported the sunk cost that already went into it. Those people have more power than you and they will not like looking bad due to you.
