The author suggests that developers wanting to showcase senior skills should start a YouTube channel doing "Grill Me" sessions, inspired by Matt Pocock.
The concept involves taking a semi-large codebase you know nothing about and answering demanding technical questions while exploring it live. The author argues that how you react to—and even push back against—tough questions in this setting provides valuable evidence of your engineering capability.
