👋 Hello, world.

My name is Brie Carranza. These are my notes on staff engineering. Given who I am these are oriented towards a Staff Support Engineer mindset. I started these notes as I read Tanya Reilly's The Staff Engineer's Path as part of a book club. You'll find the videos of some of our discussions on the Book Club - The Staff Engineer's Path playlist on the GitLab Unfiltered channel on YouTube.

There are mindmaps for many chapters in the maps subdirectory. Each mindmap is linked directly:

The Big Picture

• Intro and 1: What would you say you do here?
• 2: Three Maps
• 3: Creating the Big Picture

Leveling Up

• 7: You're a Role Model Now (Sorry)
• 8: Good Influence at Scale

The mindmaps are generated using markmap. Read my blog post on making Markdown mindmaps with marmap.
