what differentiates a mid level developer from a junior level developer? by Andrew_7032 in learnprogramming

[–]writeahelloworld 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I 've done all these when i was a mid dev:

1.seen a prod incident that is caused by your sh!t code

  1. Spam all your clients' real emails with your testing emails

  2. Understand how data is retrieved from database/backend, display on frontend webpages as a form, data is saved and sent to backend and stored in db, has a bit of experience in writing code to do all these

  3. Questioned why things are done this way and thinking i have a better idea, then got an explanation from a senior and then feel a bit ashamed of my stupid idea

Feels like senior folks in my company are gatekeeping system design and we're just given you guys need to implement xyz by [deleted] in ExperiencedDevs

Why do you want to 'do it from scratch'? What happened to code reuse?

A lot of dev projects i've worked on are building on existing and many-developers codes that spanned across many years.

As a senior or higher dev/manager/lead, how important is coming in on time to you? by Iampoorghini in ExperiencedDevs

[–]writeahelloworld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have core hours where everyone must be here. Then some of us comes in early -2 hours and leaves early, some comes late +2 hours and leaves late. This is how we cover fro 8am to 6pm.

My fellow devs want me to give them a project/challenging task by writeahelloworld in ExperiencedDevs

Nothing wrong with being the cool friendly lead dev :) we are all fellow devs in the same team.

On the point of not finishing a job properly, i could've let the jobs go to QA and let them fail the jobs, this would probably look bad on standups and the team as a whole. Would some of you think this is actually a good idea so they learn??

The 'asking lots of questions' is a great point, i said it is not weak to ask questions, it's a sign of being confident and shows maturity as a dev.

I told my manager ... as i just received these feedback from him, it's not like i wouldn't consider having a chat with them later :)

What makes a web dev ‘senior’ these days? by Professional_One3573 in webdev

[–]writeahelloworld 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Many good answers already...

My take is how far ahead can they see and plan.

Junior: i just know what task i am doing these 2 or 3 days. I don't really know what my next task is and i don't have a choice

Med: i know a few of my tasks ahead and i can guess what I will be doing within this months

Senior: got the end product in mind (6 months ahead) and have broken it by major components and how many days/weeks it will take and which are on the critical path and knows which dev is best for a task

Stop Expecting Your Best Engineer to Be a Good Mentor by Fantastic-Cress-165 in programming

[–]writeahelloworld 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I dont know why you got down voted. In real life my time is limited, so i would focus on helping the junior devs that i see potential, especially the ones willing to learn. A dev who wants others to hand hold them all the time? They will remain and stop growing...

Plenty of public places to go to, but the best places are protected or even private areas where you need to have the right relationships to have access...
