Seniors should have demonstrated experience designing systems and libraries that then became reality.
That might sound obvious, but people can end up with senior titles on their resume just by hanging around places doing nothing but maintenance and small additions for long enough, and barely accruing any design chops.
- dnoberon 7y agoThere's another comment that makes the same observation about the senior title on the resume. It's almost like the first thing you have to figure out when talking to a senior engineer is: title or talent? (I know talent might not be the best word, but it sounded neat. I also think talent doesn't refer to an inherent ability to do something but a set of skills developed over time to a high degree of efficiency)
