Would you consider there to be a particular 'rite of passage' that a developer should meet before they are not immediately considered a Junior?
Maybe having broken the production environment and taken ownership of that fact? It's going to happen eventually, so it might make a good rite of passage!
As an interviewer, would you disqualify a developer who opted not to include Junior/Mid-Level/Senior in their own self-qualification, or would you interview them and come to your own conclusion?
I would definitely want to talk to them either way. If they replied to the job posting, I assume they felt qualified!
do you think I am false-advertising myself?
Not at all. I feel like junior/mid-level/senior labels vary so much from place to place, anyway. If you honestly list your skills and accomplishments, people can draw their own conclusions from there.
Well, I have DEFINITELY broken production. I even deleted a production application once. Thankfully we got it restored from backup before the Sales team noticed their orders wouldn't go through. :)
Thanks for your insight, that makes me feel more sure about my decision!

I can only answer for myself, but...

Congrats on hitting the year mark. :)
