The suits' primary job is inventing new titles, when they aren't finding other ways to interfere with actual work being accomplished, so no one's ever going to solve that problem. Settle a definition for Senior vs Junior and by lunch some management, marketing, or HR department will have subdivided, recontextualized, and synergized a dozen different new terms to reconfuse the situation.

As for the community itself, one can call themselves whatever they want, but a look at their code will quickly suss out who's a senior and who's a junior. Titles are worthless, experience matters to some extent, but it's the code that does the talking, as it should be.
