Why this topic matters
Writing the code was the thing many senior engineers were valued for, and it is no longer scarce. What survives is judgement: choosing under real uncertainty, owning it in writing, and being followed by people who do not report to you. That shift is happening faster than most promotion rubrics have been rewritten, which is exactly where the opportunity sits.
