Gregory's Serverto me the biggest signs of a “junior developer mindset” are:
- over-confidence in areas with low knowledge, and not handling being shown wrong with grace
- complexity for the sake of it
- thinking in absolutes (ex. Rust > *)
- lack of respect for non-technical roles and functions

@warriormaster I’m referring less about years of experience and more of mindset :p overcoming it is a major milestone for growing as a developer  @lea Yeah, I added an edit to the post. Though I did reflect a bit how I started at my current place and I did feel to some extent over confident. It didn’t take too long for that confidence to drop. to clarify, you can be a junior developer without having the mindset and vice versa; the mindset is separate from actual years of experience |
@lea I must be then to some extent an exception :)
Edit: Misread “junior dev mindset” as “junior dev”
