Read a great blog post today about what it means to be a 'senior engineer'. Applicable to pretty much any discipline not just engineering. Same can be said for 'senior mechanics' or 'senior plumbers'.

This blog linked to a second blog with some great Fatherly advice for a son:

My favorite is definitely:
"Treat people who know less than you with respect, deference, and patience. Non-technical people who deal with developers on a regular basis almost universally hold the opinion that we are prima donnas at best and crybabies at worst. Don’t reinforce this stereotype with anger and impatience."
