Senior Dev = How can I make this code better?

Or me as I went through these stages:

Junior dev = How can I write this code? How can I make this code better?

Senior dev = How can I write this code? How can I teach people to make this code better?

Tech lead = How can I teach people to write this code? How can I teach people to make this code better?

I would say senior should look for ways to not reinvent the wheel and not use a hammer to nail a screw.

Tech lead should know which one of proposed hammers to use when there is no other option.
