Junior to Lead Solutions

Text on the meme

JUNIOR: THIS IS THE BEST SOLUTION. MEDIOR: THESE ARE 5 POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS. SENIOR: THIS SOLUTION REQUIRES LEAST TIME AND EFFORT. LEAD: THIS SOLUTION REQUIRES LEAST CODE OWNERS TO SIGN-OFF-BY-ON PR.

What it means

A four-panel progression shows increasingly advanced glowing brain scans labeled Junior, Medior, Senior, and Lead. The joke is that the most senior developer’s “simple” solution requires approval from the least number of code owners before a PR can be signed off. It is used as a reaction to bureaucratic code review and exaggerated engineering seniority.
