I agree with the reasoning behind this description, but would like to add a couple points:
* Junior developer - Will produce some value with guidance, probably not much if left alone. Code will be terrible if left alone.
* Intermediate developer - Will produce value if left alone, but will write code in a way to just "make it work"
* Senior developer - Will produce value if left alone, but will write code considering the long term implications of whats been done. Is it maintanable? Is it easy to read? Is it easy to extend?
