    It's not related to the article content, but I can't help but notice the "diversity" in authorship grades: a senior staff, a (regular) senior, and a principal. I suppose grades are a key mechanism by which corporates keep their hamster wheels running.

    I'm thankful that, at my $WORK, we're all software engineers by title, from the lowly interns to the CTO. Still, everybody knows who's who and whom to talk to, depending on the gravity of the issue.

      Title should indicate work and responsibility, right?

      CTOs work is totally different from SE, so why s/he is SE?

      Lets make your janitor can be SE too
