> I consider someone to be an experienced developer one that has seen a couple frameworks and hype cycles come and go. Let's say 10 years of experience.

sure you draw the line where you feel comfortable, but in the US job market, people get the senior title in 3-7 years, its just a statement of fact rather than opinion.

I think that is his point. At most places I've worked at in my almost 15 years of experience, a senior title is not a title based on time but based on goal setting. Some places do that better than others for sure, but it's not just a magic you hit 7 years now you are a senior. A senior engineer in 3 years??? That's a SWE who is still taking baby steps in my experience.
