to 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
@lea I must be then to some extent an exception :)
Edit: Misread “junior dev mindset” as “junior dev”
to clarify, you can be a junior developer without having the mindset and vice versa; the mindset is separate from actual years of experience
