There's a link (below) to their Microsoft Art Collection, which results in the HTTP Error 401 - Page not found.

Can we ever talk about ourselves as senior developers? It means never having to say you're sorry
Sorry, it's late in the day, and late in the week. I was trying to go with a "Someone who's pulled out more hair than they have left.", but that really didn't work either. I think I need a snark refill...

It means non-employment.

Most senior development centers have a greater number of widows on the make. I hear.

Sorry, the company can't afford raises this year. Since you are now 24 years old and have been with us for 2 years now - you are now a senior developer.

A good article, and one that I've often mentioned to other developers. Length of service is no substitute for knowledge gained. Working at one company on the same product on the same code base is no substitute for having worked with different methodologies, architectures, languages etc.

It depends how you think of it..
If you compare it to a prison sentence for example, then length of service (time done) is very important. How many heads you've cracked, tattoos you've got, how many members in your crew - it all makes a difference.
See, exactly like programming!
How do you know so much about swallows? Well, you have to know these things when you're a king, you know.

I disagree with the take on books.
You get sites like pluralsight, codeacademy, etc that are specifically to learn from. I don't even use books for reference anymore because it's faster to refer to other projects, hit stackoverflow/cp, etc.
I think books are ok for people who learn that way, but not everyone does. I learn much faster/better from video tutorials or live interaction. Books for tech are at the bottom end of the resource list. Though I do read a lot of tech material online, but not books so often.
