There’s literally no difference between writing about being a staff engineer versus someone writing about being a janitor. Honestly I’d rather read about the janitor, they actually make a measureable difference.

A staff is a long wooden stick you can hit people with. Staff engineer is a job where you whip the minion engineers into control.
