Ελπίζουμε μόνο η @aegeanairlines μετά την ειδική πτήση για τα δεσποζόμενα ζώα άνω των 8 κιλών μέσα στην καμπίνα να το διατηρήσει και να μη χρειάζεται στα εντός Ελλάδος ταξίδια αυτά να ταξιδεύουν είτε στο χώρο αποσκευών είτε με εμπορικές πτήσεις, πάντα μέσα σε κλουβιά. Πολλά ζώα δεν έχουν μπει ποτέ σε κλουβιά και η εμπειρία τους είναι τραυματική.












You aren't paid a Staff Engineer’s salary simply to write code faster than a Senior. If that were the goal, they would just hire two Seniors or buy an AI tool. On paper, a team of 15 containing four Staff Engineers looks inefficient. In reality, that ratio is the only thing keeping the business alive. You aren't there to close tickets during the calm; you are there to make the right call during the chaos. Your job is to prevent decisions that feel good today but destroy the architecture next year. You exist to stop technical debt from halting business growth. Yet, many new Staff Engineers miss this point entirely. Instead of stopping the bleeding, they spend their first month: Complaining about legacy systems. Asking why we aren't mimicking "Company X." Proposing total rewrites without understanding the business context. That is just noise. The company didn't hire a Principal Engineer to add more of it. Your value isn't in the code you write; it is in the clarity you bring. You are there to guide the Engineering and Product Managers so they don't get lost in the weeds. You aren't paid for the features you ship. You are paid for the catastrophic mistakes you prevent the team from making. Senior Engineers build the product. Staff Engineers protect the business. Don't confuse the two. -------------------- Check out my Java+Spring boot+Microservices+Design Patterns+System design ebook curated for interviews from here matamgi.com/java-interview…
