What's a specific word for a programmer who has contextual knowledge of a particular programming language,...












1














This term was used by an old Senior Developer of mine but for the life of me I can't recall it. The context of the conversation was that he wasn't necessarily more skilled than an Intermediate Developer, but he had more knowledge and experience in particular areas. In a sentence, it would be used like, I have more _____.



My brain keeps giving me the terms region knowledge and area knowledge, and I feel like those may be close, but are definitely not it.

I have more domain knowledge.



Can refer to more knowledge of either the technical environment or the 'business side'.

Perhaps the words practiced, seasoned or adept could be what you're looking for. Example usage:




He is more practiced in this field of programming.



She is as an adept in functional programming.



He is a seasoned web-developer.




It's used differently than "domain knowledge" or "region knowledge" is but I think it can still be relevant to your question.
