> what does a senior developer mean ? That is the crux of this discussion. My experience is the title senior developer varies from firm to firm depending on size, and on which area of software or web development you're in. A senior developer could: - Have managerial responsibilities - Have project management responsibilities - Be involved in sales as the engineering representative - Be a programmer who can troubleshoot and solve problems no one else can touch - Be able to architect systems - Be able to reverse-architect legacy systems - Have extensive algorithmic experience and write programs that take decades of knowledge to do - Have broad expertise, able to oversee teams doing anything from frontend to devops and networking, and know enough to steer them - Have narrow focused expertise and be one of the top industry experts in their field
