Many engineers feel stalled because the role itself has not evolved. The wo=
rk looks the same, but the market has moved.

Senior engineering in 2026 demands ownership, faster judgment, and comfort =
with ambiguity. If your role is not pushing you there, it may be holding yo=
u back.

Last cohort, 15 hiring partners sent 31 representatives to evaluate challen=
gers through 246 live interviews. [Gauntlet](https://apply.gauntletai.com?u=

Howdy Rocket Networkers,

The beautiful game is back... and I'm hooked. Catching the opening matches =
here in Houston today, so I'll keep this one short.

Lots brewing in the H-Town ecosystem this week. Plenty of reasons to close =
the laptop and go shake some hands in real life.

Speaking of the game... Tuesday, come watch it with the rest of us at [Bayo=
