This is just bringing up the Nebraska center up to speed with the California and Vermont centers. This is done because Nebraska will restart processing H-1B application which it had not been. USCIS clarified there is no change in policy.

"... an entry-level computer programmer position would not generally qualify as a position in a specialty occupation ...

"Senior Developer" is the new "Entry-level developer". Now we have job title inflation.
SUBJECT: Rescission of the December 22, 2000 “Guidance memo on H1B computer related positions”

Based on the current version of the Handbook, the fact that a person may be employed as a computer programmer and may use information technology skills and knowledge to help an enterprise achieve its goals in the course of his or her job is not sufficient to establish the position as a specialty occupation."
