I'd like to mention that job title alone is no indication or measure of being a senior developer in my own personal opinion. Neither is years of experience. I know many developers, who have years of experience, at one or many companies, startups and big (public) corporations, but continue to make what one could call junior or beginner mistakes, never seem to learn from past experience, and/or continue to commit and pull request bad, breaking code. Also, I think calling out co-workers on a public blog (on the front page of Hacker News no less) and ridiculing their code, no matter how mind blowing, at any company, is not very professional. I don't care if you are at a young hot start up with twenty year olds or not even a formed company yet or work in a corporation with 80,000 other engineers. I realize everyone probably has their own definitions of junior, senior, and whatever other level of development hierarchies we can come up with, but I personal think this blog post and copying code directly off a website willy-nilly like the article describes are both junior level or unprofessional attributes. Disclaimer, I couldn't stomach finishing reading this post.
