Queen of Wands
"The Principal Engineer"
Wands · Code & Build▲ Upright +2
Mastery over the codebase expressed through restraint. The Queen of Wands writes the migration that handles every edge case, the abstraction that actually simplifies things, the review comment that saves the team a week of rework. Her code does not just work — it teaches.

The principal engineer has become the bottleneck. Every PR needs their approval, every architecture decision waits for their opinion, and they have rewritten a junior's code so many times that nobody else bothers trying anymore. Mastery that refuses to delegate is just a single point of failure with a staff title.
