I don't think "behaviours" define a "senior" web developer. I rather think it's defined by:

  • a breath of knowledge, either wide, deep or both
  • broad technical and soft skills that grew with age
  • having an eye for the importance of human interactions
  • an attitude leaning towards the "big picture"
  • lots of anecdotes of quirky forgotten stuff ;)

You're absolutely right, Arnaud. I just think of senior developer as a mindset rather than just the quantity of knowledge and experience.
