How the fuck does one get out of junior dev status? I'm at like 3.5 YoE and stuck in it.

You have to create technical debt specific to your skillset

Lmao. I'm in charge of migrating a C codebase to Rust, so I don't think I'll be lacking in that department.

Now just go to work and casually say " I'm feeling very senior today" .

These days you're lucky to be able to work as a dev at all. To get out of junior dev you needed to get into the industry 5 years sooner.

So...I'm fucked? Lovely...

[-] AbsoluteChicagoDog@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago

Pretty much. I'd try to get into a different field if you can.

I'm likely going to commit suicide. With the way life's been going, I may actually end it all tomorrow.
