What's your definition of a "senior" developer?
-
I think my definition of a senior dev is vastly different than others. I am not so sure that a 10 year member working as a senior developer would be asking us to do his homework assignments for him.... So, what would your definition of a senior developer be?
How 'bout one that's almost 60 and has been doing this for 40 years? ;-)

LOL!! I detest Agile and started refusing Agile dev shops, saying "I'm not a team player" (apparently this is worse than not knowing how to code ... :omg: ) And even though the company who contracts me gives us lunch, I still have loads of snacks lying around. I'm not a senior developer, though, I'm more of a senior moment developer :-\
So a senior developer has a posh cubicle and keys for the executive loo.
We're philosophical about power outages here. A.C. come, A.C. go.

If one knows how to properly use google, then you can be classified as senior. :rolleyes:
But then 'Who' defines what is proper use of Google?

Sorry, we are getting age creep and now someone must be at least 67.
No, it's still 65, just base 16 :-)

A senior developer is a developer valued by her peers. Everyone who goes to her consistently receives quality help, advice, and guidance.

I agree! And asking the right questions.. ;P

If the person has heard of an AS400, experienced the year 2000 problem, and knows who Gilligan is, then they are a Sr. Developer. ;-) (Oh yes, and they use ASCII faces instead of emoticons)

Me too. Sorry, shouldn't that be "AOL" :-)

I wouldn't say it would be unethical, just immaterial. Just seeing a rash of accounts that have been open for anywhere from 4 to 15 years and proclaim themselves to be senior developers at their company and yet can't perform the simplest of tasks, like assigning values to variables or debugging their code to fix an NRE or can't fix a simple missing reference error. One person I am thinking of has very proudly proclaimed that he won't do his own basic research and runs to the forums here all the time to get people to do his research for him. One help vampire got so many people to write his code for him, he was able to get some sort of position teaching others! And, people here still write code for him.
"people here still write code for him." I think that's unethical. Teach, don't proxy.

Altavista was awesome. Do you remember how it returned ftp results? I guess now that that's considered the "dark net."

Depends on the benefit you're after. For a "senior citizen waiver" on tuition for audited classes at my local community/technical college, 60's enough (and yes, I'm auditing classes - Circuit Analysis I last semester, Circuit Analysis II and Digital Systems I this quarter - eventually I'll be able to start building my very own personal Cylons!). -Bob

Yes I know. Just joking anyway. Some items you need only be 55. For full social security it is now 67, up from what it use to be. Use to be able to retire at 59 at some places and get full benefits. Of course few in the US now get pensions and such unless you work for the Government, and most of them are broke.
