I've been a professional C, Perl, PHP and Python developer.
I'm an ex-sysadmin from the late 20th century.
These days I do more Javascript and CSS and whatnot, and promote UX and accessibility.
When I was working for a company that automatically made any programmer a "senior" after they'd been there for two years, regardless of their abilities.
I wasn't a programmer, so I was exempt from this policy and had been there three years. Everyone else in my department left, making me de facto in charge, and I realised that I was handling it ok.
When I eventually changed jobs, I just called myself a senior, and it felt right.
