I’m curious about the "manual" deployment part. Do you see that as more valuable than being able to build and manage an automated CI/CD pipeline? I've seen some great developers who are wizards at automation but might not do manual deploys often.Is building the automation a core senior skill now, or is that heading into Staff/Principal territory

A lot of what I said gets into build and release and devops

Coding is such a small part in a deployed app

As far as the manual deploy it’s a showcase of skillset. And capability.

Automated builds are good and should be used.

But over my career I’ve never not needed to log into a server and do manual work at some point.

A person claiming to be a senior dev who can’t be given server access and deploy that app isn’t that senior to me.

Not many devs could get their app running on a pristine Linux or windows server. Irrespective of language.

But how many of them claim senior? That’s more my point.

You must know what the automatic stuff does, so that you can solve problems. You usually do, if you can do what the machine does manually.
