The practical, no-BS collection of frameworks that separate junior devs from senior engineers and architects in 2025+
⭐ Star this repo if you actually want to level up — not just collect tabs.
This is the living, open-source companion to the blog series
“Beyond Coding: The Frameworks That Separate Junior, Mid, and Senior Engineers”
Everything here is battle-tested in real companies (startups to BigTech) and kept brutally up-to-date.
99 % of “framework” articles are either:
- Academic Wikipedia copies
- 5-minute Medium listicles
- Outdated since 2018
This repo (and the blog series) fixes that:
- Real copy-pasteable examples (Structurizr, Mermaid, Miro templates)
- Clear “Junior / Mid / Senior” labeling
- Updated every quarter for 2025–2026 realities
- Zero corporate fluff
- Architecture & Design Frameworks
- Process & Development Frameworks (CI/CD, DevOps, trunk-based, etc.)
- Quality & Reliability (SRE, Clean Code, error budgets)
- Data Modeling (CQRS, Event Sourcing, graph vs relational)
- Communication & Documentation (C4, ADR, UML that doesn’t suck)
- The “Soft” Frameworks Only Seniors Need
Found something outdated? Missing your favorite framework?
Open an issue or PR — I merge fast if it’s practical and seniority-tagged.

If this helped you get a promotion or pass an architect interview, buy me a coffee or just tweet that you starred the repo. That’s all I ask ☕
