Staff & Principal engineers: What is the biggest misconception about the role?

Also curious:
- what you spend your time on
- what impact looks like and how it’s measured
- what makes the role succeed/fail
- what traits you associate with a great Staff+ IC

Replies/DMs welcome.

🚨 **Security alert** 🚨 Today, malicious versions of [`chalk` and several other packages](www.aikido.dev/blog/npm-deb...) were published to npm.

We've assessed the impact to our users and believe the threat from Storybook specifically is minimal. Sharing for visibility. Stay safe out there folks!

The fact that youre out there is enough to do whatever you want.

For a long time i also preferred spd because it was easier to walk. Eventually when i started doin 50+ miles regularly, the shoes really are the biggest difference. Soles get much stiffer with the road.

I say F them. Stoked for you!🀘🏽

As someone who used to fit a lot of people to all shapes of bikes. This is a common take. Youre not alone.

That friend you haven’t talked to on a while. The one you always knew would be ok…. Check on en. Reach out. Call em. Go to them. Ask the serious questions.

If your in a hard place, reach out, find those real ones to talk to before its too late. Dont lose contact with your chosen family.
