Showing The Way

While his material is worth reading for anyone in the software industry, Ryan Peterman’s work is especially valuable for mid-level developers looking to take that next step. The Tech Lead’s Playbook, for example, captured the responsibilities better than my own thoughts despite being half the length.

He jumped 3 levels in 3 years at Meta, which is an insanely-fast series of promotions. He knows what he’s talking about! That being said, I bet it took a decent amount of luck too, so don’t expect similar results even if you follow his advice perfectly.
