give a realistic path and the skill shifts involved.
Planned topics
- Shifts: from depth in one stack to breadth across many; from building to influencing; from code to documents and conversations.
- Keep hands-on skills current enough to be credible: prototypes, code reviews, reading.
- Build evidence: lead a design, write decision records, present to non-engineers.
- Solution architect and Staff engineer are parallel tracks, not rungs of one ladder.
