Hi, I'm a developer with three year of experience. I am trained in Java/J2e but I am mostly a Javascript/Typescript lover <3 currently working in GIS, with ReactJS and LeafletJS
Interesting post, thanks you.
I have been recently called "Senior developer" by a colleague, but I was really surprised. I have 3 years of experience as a developer, I don't feel senior at all. The concept of senior developer versus junior developer has been really unclear for me since. What does it mean to be senior or junior ? I once had a colleague who said he was a junior java developer, when he had 20 years of experience of others languages. I learned so much from him, but he still called himself junior, because he "recently" changed his main language.
The concept of mature seems more logical.
Besides, the field evolves so much, that we should be eternally junior, or we would switch from junior to senior, and then a new shiny toy comes and we are back to junior and so on and so forth... (in fact, I completely love that, always something new to learn, never a boring day)
By the way, thank you soooo much for that "build your own" ressource!! Now I know what I will spend my week-ends on
