At least the folks who worked on Nasa's Dart (se item immediately above this one) has a direct impact.

Google — along with a handful of hardware and software partners — are announcing what it calls “the world’s first laptops built for cloud gaming.” If only they hadn't *just* cancelled their cloud gaming platform
But I guess nVidia and Microsoft will be happy?

Junior Engineers care about writing Software. They value code quality, employ best practices, try to adopt cutting-edge technologies. They invest a lot of time into learning new technologies. To them, the ultimate goal is to create elegant, performant, maintainable software. Because systems don't need software?

I was going to suggest $5K per year.
Your answer works well too, as I'm a good example .

I'd want a lot more than $5k/year over what the average kid who just graduated is being paid.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I think it's more a matter of seeing the big picture and thinking in architectural terms. Most rookies don't do those things.
That "ultimate goal" is a good thing and shouldn't be lost but there's more to the story and learning new technologies is about the lowest of priorities.

The article lists many things that a senior engineer can do. All are important and some people will gravitate to them. A senior engineer should spend time on them if necessary, but it's also a question of specialization. If someone is really good at software, that's where they should focus their time. I get the sense that the author thinks being "senior" means being a generalist, which should not be a criterion.

According to the latest update from the software giant, users could experience problems with Windows Hello sign-in methods, such as face recognition, fingerprint, or regular PIN. Is this the bug you were looking for?
Too old of a song? I guess, "You had me at this bug" is also too vague?
Sorry for keeping kicking this poor OS while it's down, but I'm just jealous they haven't offered me 22H2 yet.
