Interesting article. I actually have a talk that I give about this exact issue. I laugh at anyone [developers] who calls themselves an "expert" unless it's followed by a very specific, narrow topic. I dislike the title "Senior" when discussing developers because it's usually just a title given to those who have 1) been there there at least 3 years or 2) Have n years of development related experience on their resume. The problem is, the title is associated with level of assumed expertise. As the article says, these guys can barely answer a basic question. However, that's not to say that they don't know how to be productive or produce quality results. It wouldn't be so bad if developers just went out and read someone else's code or attended a code camp or user group, but they don't.
