Build an actionable UX career growth plan to get promoted to Staff, Lead, or Principal role.
Progress to the next IC-level after senior—whether it's called Staff, Lead, or Principal at your organization. Based on how 50+ companies evaluate employees, interviews with 19 designers on on their progression, and analysis of hundreds of design career paths.

Hi everyone, I built PyXL — a hardware processor that executes a custom assembly generated from Python programs, without using a traditional interpreter or virtual machine. It compiles Python -> CPython Bytecode -> Instruction set designed for direct hardware execution. I’m sharing an early benchmark: a GPIO test where PyXL achieves a 480ns round-trip toggle — compared to 14-25 micro seconds on a MicroPython Pyboard - even though PyXL runs at a lower clock (100MHz vs. 168MHz). The design is stack-based, fully pipelined, and preserves Python's dynamic typing without static type restrictions.…
