If you're a Senior Engineer looking to move up, the next role will likely be a Staff Engineer. And in this guide, Shruti shares tips from her own experience of getting promoted to Staff Engineer at PayPal and Slack. She talks about what Staff Engineers do (and how it's different from Seniors), why you might not be getting promoted, and how to take that next step. https://lnkd.in/g58dnFEG

Developing a large ecosystem with both open- and closed-source components comes with some interesting challenges. Back when we were bootstrapping CKEditor, my purist mindset pushed us to develop each of our 30+ packages in separate repositories. The goal was to sort of "force" higher modularity and more responsible architecture for every component. As you can probably guess 😅, it did not scale. Later, we consolidated most of the packages into two monorepos – one open source, one closed source – while keeping a few granular packages separate where it still made sense. This helped a lot, but it didn’t fully solve the problem. We were still working across multiple repositories and kept running into issues like dependency coordination and lockfiles. Recently, we took another step forward. We migrated to pnpm and redesigned our overall approach. In this post, Filip Sobol explains the new setup implemented by the CKEditor 5 Platform team and what we learned along the way: https://lnkd.in/eHS28qxe

v1.1.0 is out for the Mobile Observability Plugin for Claude Code. Flutter support just shipped, along with three new vendor integrations. New vendor guides: → Firebase (Crashlytics, Analytics, Performance Monitoring, Remote Config) → OpenTelemetry (opentelemetry-swift v2.3.0, opentelemetry-android v1.0.0-rc.1) → Measure.sh (open source and self-hosted, for teams that need data sovereignty) New anti-pattern detection: localized strings in telemetry. Your crash groups shouldn't split by locale. "Erreur réseau" and "Network error" are the same bug. The plugin now catches this in Swift, Kotlin, TypeScript, and Dart before you ship it. What this plugin does: Run /instrument ios or /instrument flutter and Claude analyzes your codebase, finds the gaps, and generates a plan. No more guessing what to measure. Install it: claude plugin add calube/mobile-observability I also put together a demo video walking through how it works: https://lnkd.in/gheM77Zb Shoutout to James Sedlacek for open sourcing his Scrumdinger application 👏 Huge thank you for the feedback and support. It's been awesome to see 🫶

Worth a read. More or less mirrors my experience(s). https://lnkd.in/gvYRSFGC "Our research shows engineers can now work effectively across frontend, backend, databases, and infrastructure—areas where they may have previously lacked expertise—because AI fills in knowledge gaps while humans provide oversight and direction." #anthropic #claude

For understanding the virtual thread state transitions... Specifically, thread pinning on Java 21 vs. Java 24 and when the thread waits on IO how the platform thread views the state compared against the virtual thread enabling interruption

Alert backtesting is a game changer! Excited that Airbnb Reliability Engineering is sharing our new OaC (observability as code) developer workflow for crafting and validating alerts before they go live. https://lnkd.in/gkknChcT
