I had to deal with a senior dev. that gave me a talk about seniority after I ran valgrind over our software. Guy was so deep into the whole senior dev. power trip that he blamed third party libraries for his bugs, dev. tools for "incorrectly" identifying his bugs and wrote more bugs to work around his other bugs.

Finding and fixing issues in C++ code can be easy with the available tools, getting people to use them on the other hand can can be like talking to a wall.

That sounds more like an expert beginner than senior.
Sounds like someone who senses his place in the hierarchy is threatened.
