What are some behaviours that, in your opinion, define a senior developer?
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse

I don't think "behaviours" define a "senior" web developer. I rather think it's defined by:
You're absolutely right, Arnaud. I just think of senior developer as a mindset rather than just the quantity of knowledge and experience.
I consider the ability to debug a live site using DevTools console, a sign of knowing just how chaotic javascript can be, regardless of how polished webpack make it look. the more senior one is, the more comfortable they are with console ... on the other hand, i have no idea what water coolers have to do with it :)
You're right. A senior developer is often more comfortable with their tools. But I think senior developers are more than just the code they write and how comfortable they are with tools. It's more about good communication, context switching when needing to explain things to people from different backgrounds and skill levels.
