So I went through 21 articles that came up when I searched for "How to become a senior developer" and adjacent searches.

Every week you’ll get a description of a problem you can solve with less than 10 hours of coding. We’ll follow up with you and give you advice to keep you on track. At the end of the week, we’ll share the most inspiring projects with the community.

Science-based practices for a meaningful life, curated by the Greater Good Science Center at UC Berkeley.

I know a lot of people who want to lose weight but are stuck, like I was in 2005.

They want to get healthy and fit, but can’t seem to stick to a diet or exercise plan. They start, and then fail, and then feel bad about it.

This was where I was 10 years ago, and I’m happy to tell you that it’s possible to change.

The secret lies in leveling up.

Like a video game, the way to changing your health habits is by starting out at the first level, and only going to the next level after you’ve beaten the one before that. The problem is that most people start at Level 10 and fail, and wonder what happened. Most of us want to skip several levels, but we’re just not ready.

In this screencast, I show you how to rewrite git history by rewording commit messages, reordering and squashing commits together, and finally by breaking open larger commits into smaller ones, all with Emacs and magit.

Matt Sakaguchi addresses the research and the insights of a manager who worked with his own team and others to instill the findings and principles from a pilot program at Google in the real world.

As developers, we are asked to absorb even more information than ever before. More APIs, more documentation, more patterns, more layers of abstraction. Now Twitter and Facebook compete with Email and Texts for our attention, keeping us up-to-date on our friends dietary details and movie attendance second-by-second. Does all this information take a toll on your psyche or sharpen the saw? Is it a matter of finding the right tools to capture what you need, or do you just need to unplug.

If you’re a programmer or write code in any part of your professional or personal life, this guide is aimed squarely at you. It’s based on some simple premises:

You use your mind to write code;
All skills and capabilities can be improved with training – you have already done this many times in your life;
It’s possible to train certain capabilities of your mind – in particular, concentration, and the ability to be aware of, and alter, your mental state – which will help you become a more confident, capable coder.

The main method of mind training I explain in this guide is commonly referred to as “meditation”, although you might find it helpful to think of it as “attention regulation training” – that’s basically what it is. The capacity to focus your attention is, I’m sure you’ll agree, crucial to outputting quality code, so it’s in your interest to train it.

CONCERT BEGINS AT 16:35

Joel Spolsky (“Joel on Software”), founder and CEO of Stack Overflow, discusses lessons of building successful software companies. Host Nate Black spoke with Joel about the venture funded “land grab” situations vs. “bootstrapping with profitability”. How do venture capitalists think and how can you make fundraising easier? What’s the strategy to keep as much ownership of your company as possible? Besides growth and revenue, a third factor of a company’s valuations is risk. “Proof points” are a way of demonstrating low risk and will earn a higher valuation. What is the deciding factor for whether you will be successful when starting a company? What do founders risk when failure doesn’t mean going hungry? Rants include: what software companies still get massively wrong, how to do remote teams right, how developers undervalue their time by reinventing the wheel, how to make sure you are happy in your next job, and how to be a good citizen on Stack Overflow.

Craig Larman and Bas Vodde discuss team and management changes, breaking barriers and habits, gatherings, coaching and community, and continuous improvement.
