Requests to join

[JordanRL]

Please comment here if you wish to join the org.

Include:

• Languages that you have some experience with.
• The team you wish to join. Teams can be viewed here. This is self-selecting, no one is going to filter you through a test. This is more "what sort of work do I want to be responsible for" than "how good am I compared to my peers".
• The areas with which you have the most confidence, experience, expertise, or skill. (For instance, if you are a wizard at Magento, but not as experienced with building PHP from scratch.)

Actually, all of us will basically be doing the menial jobs, that's mostly what technical debt is. It's just some are menial and also really, really hard.

But I hear ya. There's lots of technical debt of all skill levels in most projects.

Senior or expert? Not sure what the diff is.

The difference in my mind between a senior dev and an expert dev is:

• A Senior dev is a capable professional that can work their way through almost any problem as long as they understand the end goal.
• An Expert dev is a Senior dev that is capable of looking at a problem and picking good goals, or is capable of identifying how to architect a solution to a problem.

In other words, an Expert dev should be able to sit down (if they are so inclined) and design how you would create something like gherkins/regexpbuilderphp or yohang/Finite. A Senior dev should be able to sit down (if they are so inclined) and build something like those once an Expert dev has designed it.

But as I've pointed out, the different teams are less about organizing people by skill level and more about organizing people according to the responsibilities they would prefer to have on the projects we work on.
