I'm considered a senior developer in my workspace. Lately, I've been thinking about what it means to be a "Senior Software Deve...

About the behavior I'm totally with you.
But sometimes senior developers should guide the people who ask questions that are not worth asking for in order to optimize time and focus on the project + the beginner tries to find more resources as a result he will become skillful in researching and solving various issues.
Be kind but also stay honest.
I totally agree that self-learning is the key to become independent, but a polite nudge in the right direction never can go long ways
Exactly, that's what I'm saying...
Great list!
I believe creative people (like coders!) do their best work when able to experiment & try out new things without fearing judgement. And this is down to the social environment created from the top down.
To me, being a Senior Developer is kind of like growing up and asking yourself, "Where's the adult in this situation? Oh, crap, it's me!" You suddenly realize that you are the responsible developer whose task it is to help guide other developers and make sure they only wander so far off the safe path, but not watch them so closely that they don't have the opportunity to explore and make mistakes, which are necessary for learning. Eventually, you just accept that role and learn to enjoy mentoring junior devs.
So in short, a senior dev is just a leader, which doesn't necessarily mean they're a manager or even an official tech lead. And just like being a responsible adult or a leader, some people never really become senior developers.

Great post Orr !!
For me, senior developers are the ones who see themselves responsible for making those around them better.
Totally agree, senior developers are responsible for the growth of the R&D as much as any team lead or above
Great post. Gives me hope as a beginner.
