Theory
Seniors have better methodology and design skills.
Reality
Senior work survives first contact.
Mid-level work:
Needs multiple review rounds
Has missing states
Collapses under edge cases
Senior work:
Anticipates constraints
Accounts for edge cases
Reduces iteration cycles
Hard Truth
If your work constantly requires rescue from above, you are not senior — regardless of years of experience.
