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?
