 1 | # Full-Stack Developer Roadmap
 2 | 
 3 | The following roadmap represents an inventory of software engineering skills spanning junior, intermediate, senior and principal level  skills and might take an entire 10 ~ 20 year career to achieve. Don't get imposter syndrome just yet, most developers will never know the entire list. 
 4 | 
 5 | The entire inventory of skills _should_ be present in aggregate across the engineering organization you work in. This roadmap is a useful guide to plug gaps in your own knowledge or find a niche in your organization that isn't well understood and cover it.
 6 | 
 7 | This list is aimed at developers working on B2B or B2C 'Line of Business' (CRUD) applications and assumes a SaaS model with global presence.
