From Junior Java Developer to Tech Lead and Beyond
summary
The talk maps career stages from Junior Java Developer up to Tech Lead using the Dreyfus model of skill acquisition, identifying which technical skills (e.g., Spring vs Java EE), tools (IDEs, productivity tools, technology radar) and processes (pair programming, JUG meetings, conferences, hackathons) matter at each level. It also covers non-technical 'HR' skills like communication, offers guidance on how much and with whom to practice or learn, and helps attendees decide what is crucial versus optional at each stage.
