The problem is when you reach SR the next step is often so far removed that you can't have that impact without not doing your real job. A jr to mid-level engineer: just be better at what you do. However Sr to the next level is a whole different way of working and you can't do those things and also write the code that a sr is expected to write.
Hmm maybe this is a good use case for LLMs to focus more on those higher level objectives.
Until the productivity boost of using LLMs well is just assumed for all ICs.
that's what the money's for
