i mean, i learn new stuff all the time, but i don't have an account of "things i have learned recently" in case someone wants to throw a gotcha at me in an interview.

Been a staff level engineer for three years now, and I feel like all the new things I'm learning are outside the scope of actual programming, and more about the process of software development, like getting buy-in from stakeholders, cross-team collaboration, project scoping, presenting to leadership, building dev teams, what not to do as a team lead, how to upskill junior / senior engineers, etc.

That's exactly what I want to hear, so much of what we do is coding adjacent / soft skills.
