What do you want more right now — product or platform development?

The choice between product and platform development depends on personal preferences and goals.

Product development focuses on creating a final product for users, requiring a focus on business value, UX, and rapid iteration. The direct results of work are visible here.

Platform development involves creating infrastructure, tools, and services that will be used by other teams or products. It requires deep technical understanding, scalability, and reliability.

For senior developers, platform development is often interesting because it allows influencing architecture and creating a foundation for many products. But the choice is always individual and depends on what brings more satisfaction and professional growth.
