That was the point that jumped out to me as well. If we can all start making progression ladders a normal part of a dev team then we recruit for a rung on the ladder rather than an arbitrary title. Then us Devs will be less precious about "That person said I wasn't a Senior", instead we can try and convince our prospective employer that we can e.g. "Consistently produce high quality code", "Is a thought-leader in new frameworks etc." It also allows conversations about salary to be more open since we pay a range for a specific level and not a massive range of 20-100K depending on how good somebody interviews or how much gall they have asking for more than they deserve! see https://www.progression.fyi/ https://www.progression.fyi/
