### AI overview

This article presents the 3P framework--Problem, Proof, and Proactive pitch--for making an engineer's promotion case legible before review. It argues that promotion reflects the scope or blast radius of decisions, supported by system evidence and an explicit pitch.

### Source excerpt

Promotion committees do not promote effort, they promote scope, and scope has to be legible before the vote rather than explained after it fails. Strip the leveling-guide language and the question is blast radius: a mid-level engineer's bad call fails one deploy unit, a senior's saturates a pool at 2 AM across teams. The 3P framework makes that visible: Problem at org scale, Proof in system metrics, and a Proactive pitch.

### AI overview

This commentary argues that AI-generated first patches can make trying small code changes cheaper than debating their scope. Engineers should use the patch as a probe to inspect real impact, while recognizing that reviewing, testing, deploying, and owning the change remain costly.
