galmactima | 3 years ago | on: The scourge of job title inflation
We need to have some kind of standard in the industry. It's just like how here in Canada we have the plague of regulatory bodies given the legal right to make it illegal to call yourself "Software Engineer" as a protected term unless you have a B.Eng. and spend 3 years in gov't controlled training programs. What a joke. What we really need to do is set up some fucking standards so that braindead developers can't cheese their way into industry and get promoted to "Senior Developer" by writing mediocre, barely functional JavaScript code among other monkey-brained developers writing barely functional code of a similar caliber. It's becoming an epidemic of self-taught bootcamp idiots who're destroying the industry and decimating uptime and availability which competent developers are then required to fix on-call, and I'm tired of pretending it's not.
