    Question: What’s the Wadge’s law of meetings and how does it affect how I will be heard in my company?

    Wadge's law is where before every meeting there's a smaller meeting where important decisions are made. Newbies to office politics might miss this and get ignored when they try to push for a new idea during company or team wide meetings.

This happens to everyone, and no matter how old you are, as a programmer you’re constantly expected to be learning new things. New concepts, new frameworks, new anything under the sun.

    Question: Should I aim for breadth or depth in my skills progression?

    There’s only so much time we have but so much to learn, so it’s best if we get some gauge on how far we should learn something.

    Question: Do frontend developers or backend developers earn more in general?

    People usually get the impression that backend folks earn more. Well, looking at raw salaries comparison often leaves people confused when they actually look for a job since it seems to depends on the situation....
