- whstl 3y agoThen we might have a misunderstanding. If so, I'm gonna need more context for the phrase “as smart as me, but no smarter”. In the original comment I never claimed there were different "smartness" levels across the ranks, and stated that Juniors can write code that is understandable. It's not about experience or smartness, it's simply about the importance of not overcomplicating the codebase to the best of your ability, no matter if you're a Junior or Senior. To me, that's being "smarter", and it's definitely possible to have this kind of "smarter" in any team.
