r/ExperiencedDevs PUBLIC
For experienced developers. This community should be specialized subreddit facilitating discussion amongst individuals who have gained some ground in the software engineering world. Any posts or comments that are made by inexperienced individuals (outside of the weekly Ask thread) should be reported. Anything not specifically related to development or career advice that is _specific_ to Experienced Developers belongs elsewhere. Try /r/work, /r/AskHR, /r/careerguidance, or /r/OfficePolitics.

Subreddit Rules
- Do not participate unless experienced (3+ years): If you have less than 3 years of experience as a developer, do not make a post, nor participate in comments threads except for the weekly “Ask Experienced Devs” auto-thread.
- No exceptions.
- No Disrespectful Language or Conduct: Don’t be a jerk. Act maturely
- racism, unnecessarily foul language, ad hominem charges, sexism - none of these are tolerated here. This includes posts that could be interpreted as trolling, such as complaining about DEI (Diversity) initiatives or people of a specific sex or background at your company.
- Do not submit posts or comments that break, or promote breaking the Reddit Terms and Conditions or Content Policy or any other Reddit policy.
- Violations = Warning, 7-Day Ban, Permanent Ban.
- No General Career Advice: This sub is for discussing issues specific to experienced developers. Generic career questions are better suited elsewhere.
- Any career advice thread must contain questions and/or discussions that notably benefit from the participation of experienced developers. Career advice threads may be removed at the moderators discretion based on response to the thread." There are other subs to ask generic career questions.
- No "Which Offer Should I Take" Posts: Asking if you should ask for a raise, switch companies (“should I work for company A or company B”), “should I take offer A or offer B”, or related questions, is not appropriate for this sub.
- This includes almost any discussion about a “hot market”, comparing compensation between companies, etc.
- No “What Should I Learn” Questions
- questions like “Should I learn C#” or “Should I switch jobs into a language I don’t know?”
- Discussion about industry direction or upcoming technologies is fine, just frame your question as part of a larger discussion (“What have you had more success with, RDBMS or NoSQL?”) and you’ll be fine.
- tl;dr: Don’t make it about you/yourself.
- No “I hate X types of interviews" Posts: This has been re-hashed over and over again. There is no interesting/new content coming out.
- It might be OK to talk about the merits of an interview process, or compare what has been successful at your company, but if it ends up just turning into complaints your post might still be removed.
- No Google-able questions: I.e. no "what are the best language(s), framework(s), tool(s), book(s), resource(s)". Most of these are trivially searchable.
- If you must post something like this, please frame it in a larger discussion - what are you trying to accomplish, what have you already considered - don't just crowd-source out something you want to know.
- No Surveys/Advertisements: If you think this shouldn't apply to you, get approval from moderators first.
- No Low Effort Posts/Venting/Bragging
- Low Effort or repetitive Posts, Excessive Venting, or Bragging.
- Using this subreddit to crowd source answers to something that isn't really contributing to the spirit of this subreddit is forbidden at moderator's discretion. This includes posts that are mostly focused around venting or bragging; both of these types of posts are difficult to moderate and don't contribute much to the subreddit.
- AI-topic posts: Wednesdays and Saturdays only: Posts whose topic is AI (LLMs, copilots, agents, AI's impact on the industry, etc.) are only allowed on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Posts on other days will be removed.
- Intentionally avoiding this will result in a ban.
- Automated posting requirements: Enforced by the modbot:
- User flair required for posting. Posters need post/comment karma in this sub. Disclose AI tool use by replying to the bot's sticky. OP must comment on their post within 2h.
