Don't Over-Index On The Senior Title

takeaway 1 connections

Paweł Pokrywka's lightning-talk lesson: 'senior developer' has no consistent meaning across languages, domains, companies or naming authorities. Companies may hand out titles in lieu of raises, local seniority in mediocre teams is meaningless, and chasing the label says more about your goals than about your skill. Treat naming things — including people — as a genuinely hard computer-science problem.
