For me the biggest myth - or fetish - is the distinction between junior and senior developer.

Working for a long time in a job doesn't make you automatically good at it.

Being new on the job doesn't mean, you do not provide value.

Being experienced in one part of your field doesn't make you experienced in another one. It is quite likely, that you are in one part senior and in another part just a junior.

For me there are only developers - each with different personalities, skillsets, talents and potential.
