Interesting reading :)
Though according to the content I've just read, you are a senior developer for a longer time. You are just comparing yourself too much. Be happy with your progress and the flow you enjoy.

The sad truth is that seniority is "given" according to what you ask as a payment. The bigger salary you requesting, the better title you will be given :) This is true for most od the companies out there

Thank you, Matej!
And I actually agree with you regarding comparing part. At some point, during my 2-3 years, I got rid of it, but when I saw people around me being promoted, I started thinking about it more and more...
Nevertheless, I do agree with you and believe that in the end, it's us that must ask for what we want.
