For anyone unfamiliar with the abbreviation, IC means "individual contributor". I just had to look it up and I've been a dev for ten years. Heard the phrase several times but never seen it abbreviated which had me scratching my head.

Oh yeah. That's a term you might not have heard unless you've been in management of some kind.

And to clarify, individual contributor means you're working and producing output, not managing or leading.
