Experience != Expertise

Software Engineer - Learning to code
Senior Software Engineer - Learning from failures, Coding for a few years
Lead Engineer - Failed in experimenting with different prototypes for a decade
Principal Engineer - Mastered Failure but Master Experimenter, Learns to look code from Failure perspective, Seen more failures to guide the safest way for rest of team

Working for years does not build expertise until you experiment and learn from failure.

Keep Learning!!!
