How about "Senior Pascal Developer". Does that make sense?
Professional: "a person who is expert at his or her work". Are you an expert with every language?
> people who have been paid to write the same language for years but don't have senior in their title
Are they experts with the language / framework / tools?
- TomMarius 9y agoFrom Wikipedia: "A professional is a member of a profession or any person who earns their living from a specified professional activity."
- rootlocus 9y agoAlso from wikipedia, the second sentence: "The term also describes the standards of education and training that prepare members of the profession with the particular knowledge and skills necessary to perform their specific role within that profession." Also from wikipedia, the second paragraph: "In some cultures, the term is used as shorthand to describe a particular social stratum of well-educated workers who enjoy considerable work autonomy and who are commonly engaged in creative and intellectually challenging work." Can we please stop this nonsense now?
- TomMarius 9y agoThe paragraphs you've pasted say absolutely nothing about the seniority of said professionals. And there is no indication that we're using the term as the described shorthand.
- daveFNbuck 9y ago> How about "Senior Pascal Developer". Does that make sense? So are you saying I should have a different job title for every language I use? > Are they experts with the language / framework / tools? So you agree that being proficient in a language is a separate issue from job title?
