I'm delighted your stopped by! Thanks to you and Weird Al for all of your dastardly animated criminal words. Your Shop Vac cartoon led me to discover Jonathan Coulton's other geeky music, like Code Monkey! He makes his songs available via the Creative Commons license, so people have made some really cool videos to them, including yours.

Through his "Thing A Week" podcast, Jonathan has put out a clever, creative song like this one every week for a year. >Mike Spiff Booth is a Program Manager at Adobe who though this great song really deserved a video. >Before you ask, since apes, goblins, and night elf receptionists don't tend to interact much in the wild, I couldn't only use captured game footage to make this video. Every frame of this video was composited together by hand using images captured from the WoW Model Viewer, WoW Map Viewer, and the World of Warcraft game itself. >No monkeys were harmed in the making of this film. >Please visit www.spiffworld.com for more information about my videos, including info about how I make them. >The song at the end of the video is "Big Bad World One", another great Jonathan Coulton song.

Pretty much. I was a lead (or the equivalent since titles change) after 5 years way back in the day and I really shouldn't have been. The thing is the job titles are pretty much meaningless as I've never worked two places that had similar criteria for what they considered junior, regular, senior, lead and in some places seniors are leads (if you only have 1 senior on a team of 8 they are a lead, if you have 6 seniors on a team of 8 and no lead then are they really senior and to who). Other places promote on time served, so you are junior 2 years, regular dev for 2-3 years, senior after that. It's one of the reasons when hiring I completely ignore their previous titles and look at what they actually did . I've seen juniors who where at least equivalent to seniors in other places and "Seniors" who I wouldn't have hired as a junior. My favourite title in my entire career (and it was my actual title) was "Code Monkey"[1], it got entered as a joke in the HR system and everything after that sort of followed on even my business cards (remember those?) said it (since company ordered them and did a mail merge from the HR system).
