Have you ever wondered why some developers keep getting promoted while others stay stuck at the same level despite their technical skills?

Your career won't skyrocket by becoming infinitely better at your tech stack—it will accelerate when you thoughtfully challenge the status quo and offer solutions to problems others see but are afraid to address.
