Re:Ask HN: How do you define a junior developer? by brad0 on Thursday September 22, 2016 @11:22AM (#12557445)
There's an easy way to tell if someone is junior or not.

Are you an implementer, a solver or a finder?

An implementer is someone who gets given a task and does it. That's a definition of a junior.

Middle of the range is a problem solver. You give someone a high level problem and they solve it.

A senior is a problem finder. They tell you problems before you even know they're a problem.

This guy puts it much better than me: https://rkoutnik.com/2016/04/21/implementers-solvers-and-fin...
