So many kids on hacker news

- I’d say SWE is an experienced engineer not a senior developer- for Pete’s sake he graduated in 2023 that was 3 freaking years ago

I’ve been developing production software for 20 years now -

What other profession counts someone with 3 years of professional experience out of college as senior?

Maybe competitive sports? Or academic math?

If it means this kid is smart and good at coding sure ill buy that but experiences and wisdom are something else entirely..
