Observe Other Engineers

Don't know what you need to do as a software engineer to get promoted? Observe engineers who are better than you! However, this is a surprisingly difficult skill to develop. This lesson teaches you:

• Which engineers you should observe and how to find them
• What you should be looking for when observing other engineers
• What "silent hero" work is and how very senior engineers do a lot of it
• The concrete avenues you should look at when trying to figure out why a higher-level engineer is superior to you
• Why getting jealous of engineers above you is a colossal waste of time, even if you are truly better than them
