My LinkedIn became full of senior developers while none of them have the basic qualifications to become a junior developer in a rising startup.

Now may I ask how many coding hours do developers need to move from “junior” to “senior”?
Is there an organization that gives those certificates?
Who gave it to you? Who promoted you to “senior”?

Can we stop feeding our egos with fake titles and live a little bit in the present?

According to IBM, 2 years, or whenever a lucrative contract or visa lottery approval comes in.

According to me, not a time metric.

@rutee07 that's a nice title you got there, perhaps we should do business

Dunno, was asking this some time ago.. + I still don't consider myself senior as there are soooo many things I am still clueless about (especially the terminology behing them)..

Boss on the other hand was like wtf you're talking about, ofc you are a senior..

So I'd say you become a senior when you have in depth knowledge of project codebase and workflows and how change x impacts thing A that might not even be in your domain of code.. & know not to do some stupid low quality code changes that can result in fucking up things..
Come to think of it, this sounds more like being a PM than being a senior, but that is just how it is in our company..

If you're a senior and a developer, are you a senior developer?

saucyatom
señor developer

I am that organization. Dm me to schedule a meeting about your certificate.

Haha, fuck those seniors. I coding over decade and still junior. Forever.

This is the chief executive of desk 1 chair 1 speaking

I noticed your latest achievements and holding titles and would like to invite you to F2F meeting in your nearest Starbucks

When are you available? I can meet tomorrow at 3pm and no time else ever for the rest of the year

About this many.
