The industry is full of subjective terms. It's a chaos. Especially when discussing seniority at a developer all I can say is that they exist only to define salaries and are different pretty organization and countries. I'm so strong about the cost because I've seen often "juniors" doing so much more than "seniors" while earning proportionally less. And it is not just about delivery about perception as well. The only seniority for me is the years and depth of knowledge with a product or an industry, especially when the topic is legacy and complicated. But then imagine a 10y season developer joining a bank. Would you pay him like he is 20y old?
