Some "junior devs" contribute more to a team than the seniors. But they're new to coding, so they're officially regarded as less important.

Things junior devs can offer that can make them more valuable than seniors: leadership, process, outside perspective, openness, empathy.

Coding experience is useful to a team, for sure. But these days it's just one of a constellation of skills the team as a whole has to have.

You could argue that "developer" includes non-coding elements. But if so, why are folks coming from code schools automatically junior devs?

@wycats@sarahmei although that’s pretty easy at our size, not sure how I’d scale this past the 10-15 employee mark.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
@tehviking @sarahmei I don't like the term "junior" at all. Our levels go from 9-12 (again cribbed from Fog Creek) to eliminate "Jr."
