My current official title is Senior Developer. I have 7+ years of experience in IT. Until recently, I avoided such labels. I would much prefer Mature as a moniker instead. Why? It all breaks down to quality of code and work etiquette.
From a tech standpoint, years of experience amount to nothing if all you've done is rehash old code.
We're in a fast growing industry which requires experimentation, research and creativity to stay relevant. If one of those components are missing, you're not mature enough. No matter the years of experience under your belt.
Regarding soft skills, yeah, the point is on. Those soft skills also determine your maturity. You're not mature enough if you can't take feedback. Or if you cannot be honest in giving feedback as well. But in a constructive way.
So I would suggest that a Mature developer is most of all, a well-rounded one. One who adapts and evolves their technical and soft skills.
That being said, the conclusion is that even one with 2-3 years of experience can be called mature, regardless of seniority status.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
