In this episode of the Mix the panelists talk about Seniority. They lay out their own personal journeys towards getting a senior title and how they define seniority for themselves - especially how it goes beyond the ability to write code well.

Among other things they discuss:

• how to become fluent in reading and writing code
• how side projects are useful but not required to become a great developer
• how senior developers tend to approach problem solving and how to get better at that
• how interpersonal skills play at least an equal role as technical knowledge
• how specific tech know-how becomes less and less important the further developers climb the ladder - at least the managerial ladder
• how organizational structures cannot be ignored when building solutions

They close with some picks which they deem valuable for anybody who'd like to dig deeper into some of these ideas.
