Ask HN: How do YOU define a junior developer?

Doesn&#x27;t know how to debug. Doesn&#x27;t know why trivial bugs happen.<p>Examples for front-end dev (CSS&#x2F;HTML&#x2F;JS)<p>Uncleared float causing a collapse, collapsing margins, poor selector priority or confused about why X has priority over Y. Div soup structure with unnecessary divs&#x2F;floats to attain desired layout. Off-by-one errors in Javascript (without being able to identify it) or not being able to identify when they are out-of-scope or what `this` is referencing.<p>Once they stop making silly mistakes they become a `developer&#x27;` At which point the kinds of mistakes they are making are less trivial and occasionally overlap with problems `senior developer` have. But they can confidently debug and generally solve their own problems so require less attention from other devs.

Someone who values learning over dominance; the more you learn, the more junior you&#x27;ll feel.

Junior developer: Does not define tasks, needs occasional help completing programming tasks.

Style Guides, UI Blocks and how they bill for their hours.
