This is great! Thank you for sharing your experience. I have a couple questions with your notes about politics. Could you expand on what you mean when you say "fall back to first principals"? "If politics thrives due to team of company culture, switch" Could you expand on this if possible?

What is this a checklist of exactly? A list of things to do to become a senior engineer, or things to do once you are a senior engineer? There is little description or context to this, so I'm not sure what I'm looking at here. Apologies for being dense!
It's not your fault. The post has zero context.
I like the css and theme of your website. Did you design it yourself or is there a theme of sorts which you adopted?
