> So a senior is not a senior if they are not proficient at Git? In my opinion (for whatever that's worth!), no (although I would say VCS in general, not git specifically). I personally consider being able to properly version control your code to be a critical skill when it comes to development - regardless of your place on the stack. YMMV. > FWIW, I don't value titles like "senior" and never took them to be meaningful. I don't necessarily disagree with regard to the current state of the industry, however as a proponent of development having more professional standards I still believe that we should be attempting to find some common ground on the standards of proficiency and mentorship.
