Being able to think of problems and solutions from the business context, away from the code layer, is what makes a developer senior.

And then, it's also important for senior Devs to maintain empathy towards lower level developers. I was frustrated by a team lead, that was a senior developer cos he understood business requirements way more than I did, and was impatient to put me through 🤦🏽‍♂️
