Real senior developers with lots of experience are usually shown the finger in our industry. There’s no such title to reflect 57 years of experience; i’ve heard it unofficially refered as baggage

Sadly that is a very common situation. Thus even more fitting to celebrate those who are still working, learning and enjoying their programming careers.

Yeah, your titles become more amazing until around 40 years of age, then they start degrading again.

Of course, if you stay where you are your salary doesn’t, so :/
