The True Measure Of Developer Seniority

The evolution of a programmer in one tweet. Juniors frantically Google "how to implement X" while seniors spend their time figuring out which parts of the spec can be safely ignored. The real 10x developer isn't the one who writes 10x more code—it's the one smart enough not to write it in the first place. Less code = fewer bugs = fewer 2AM production incidents. Wisdom isn't knowing what to add, it's knowing what to leave out.
