Holloway seems to support downloads but this book doesn't have that option. Is that intentional?
I am actually looking for something just like this, I would have bought it right now, if there was a download option. Any chance of getting that enabled, seems like holloway supports it.
Fantastic, just ordered a copy!
I would be interested to know how you found self-publication? What did you use to write it, and where did you market it apart from HN?
How many are you hoping to sell?
congrats on shipping, OP. i also wrote a jr to sr book and it was one of the most rewarding things i've ever done. good luck!
Congratulations on the book! I think we need more books like this. Recently on YT, I have been watching more and more videos on the subject. Most of them target beginners (which is fine) but few talk about what comes next. So your book is very welcome.
Congrats on the book! Glad you're sharing what you learned during your career.
Honestly, that list above has lots of things Seniors probably could brush up on.
Is there a kindle version?
It looks very good!
Once the Kindle version will be available I will buy it!
Now this, is a book I'm willing to hoop around US sanctions and then fight Iran's internet filtering to read. Thank you.
A junior engineer reads an API to do what they need to do.
A senior reads an API to figure out what can be done.
That there one the major differences between he two.
Out of curiosity, how much does holloway.com take from each sale? Are you allowed to sell digital or physical copies yourself?
How can I read this offline? Doesn't seem to be a way to load it on my kindle or laptop. Is there a PDF?
Any plans for a phisical print in the future?, I do enjoy reading a real book more than a digital one
I've read the free preview on the different meanings of what is a senior engineer, and I have to say I'm not convinced.
"Years of experience" VS "Technical ability" is at best reductive, at worst completely wrong.
I encourage you to look at large companies and how the levels are defined (https://www.levels.fyi/blog/amazon-leveling-progress.html here for example, for Amazon) and the nuance that there is.
The different parts you cover are commendable ("How to build trust and work with your manager", "How to ask better questions", etc.), but they are bare minimum requirements for an engineer that has a couple of years of experience, they're not what is needed to reach the senior software engineer level.
Junior to not Junior anymore? Sure. Junior to Senior? I don't see it.

Congrats! I wrote my own book on a similar topic (link to site in my profile) and I can say without question it was one of my top 5 proudest professional moments. Books are a big deal.
And we need more on this topic to help more developers get better at building software faster. (The tech is part of that, but so is the communication.)
So, again, congrats!
