At most technology companies, you’ll reach Senior Software Engineer, the career level for software engineers, in five to eight years. At that career level, you’ll no longer be required to work towards the next promotion, and being promoted beyond it is exceptional rather than expected. Should you stay there, move into engineering management, or continue down the path of technical excellence to become a Staff Engineer?

What are the skills you need to develop to reach Staff Engineer? Are technical abilities alone sufficient to reach and succeed in that role? How do most folks reach this role? What is your manager’s role in helping you along the way? Will you enjoy being a Staff Engineer or will you toil for years to achieve a role that doesn’t suit you? Staff Engineer: Leadership beyond the management track is a pragmatic look at attaining and operating in Staff engineering roles, building on the lived experience of folks who've walked before you.

"Becoming a Staff engineer is both a promotion and a job change; many immensely talented engineers pursue the first and arrive unprepared for the latter. Will Larson's Staff Engineer is a wide ranging and thought provoking overview of the many dimensions of the role.

As a software engineer at any level, this book will challenge you to become better and should be required reading if you're pursuing a Staff engineer role."

"It is not easy to find many resources on the staff engineer role which is still massively misunderstood due to wildly varying definitions and assumptions.

This book lays out some of the differing role definitions and then brings them to life with real case studies making it easy to map the archetypes to your own circumstances, passions and ambitions. This should be a go to resource for anyone thinking of pursuing the IC path or that has already moved into a senior IC role."

"In Staff Engineer, Will Larson does more than demystify the staff engineer role: he explains the whys and hows of long-term technical strategy, the power of sponsorship, and the responsibility that comes with having influence.

Throughout the book, he references inclusive studies, addresses realistic scenarios, and offers practical advice. Staff Engineer leaves me feeling more equipped for success as an engineering leader, but more than that, it leaves me feeling affirmed — it’s the first engineering leadership book I’ve read with over half its quotations from women."

"Pretty Baby" was met with significant controversy upon its release due to its depiction of nudity and the involvement of a minor, Brooke Shields, in certain scenes. Critics and audiences were divided, with some praising the film's artistic and bold approach to storytelling, while others condemned it for perceived exploitation.

"Pretty Baby" is a 1978 American drama film directed by Louis Malle. The movie stars Keith Carradine, Susan Sarandon, and Brooke Shields in her film debut. The story revolves around a young couple, Al and Vicki, who are part of a traveling photographic studio in New Orleans at the turn of the 20th century. The couple's baby girl, Lucy, played by Brooke Shields, becomes a central figure in their lives and the narrative. While it presents challenging themes and has been

The film's handling of sensitive topics, including child nudity, raised ethical questions and led to calls for greater scrutiny of films featuring minors. Despite the controversy, "Pretty Baby" received critical acclaim for its cinematography, direction, and performances. It was nominated for several awards and won the 1978 Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.

The legacy of "Pretty Baby" is complex. On one hand, it showcased the talents of its cast, including a standout performance by Brooke Shields, who was only 12 years old during filming. On the other hand, the film's controversial nature has led to ongoing debates about the portrayal of children in cinema and the responsibilities of filmmakers in such contexts.

Over the years, "Pretty Baby" has been reevaluated by film scholars and critics, with some arguing that it was misunderstood at the time of its release and that it actually critiques the voyeuristic tendencies of society rather than endorsing them.
