Senior Engineer Fatigue - Understanding the Onset of Senior Wisdom
As engineers progress in their careers, they may experience senior fatigue, transitioning from rapid learning to a more nuanced growth phase. This shift involves a focus on deliberate deceleration, prioritizing efficiency over activity, and navigating the balance between value and relevance. The concept of senior wisdom emerges alongside this fatigue, leading to vertical leadership development or horizontal expansion across technologies.

While referencing security issues, technologists express more significant worries about potential privacy implications. The decision to shift the feature release to the Windows Insider program highlights a broader discussion on the implications of AI technology in surveillance and data collection.
