I think you’re being a little pedantic here. Even if we assume "senior" is an arbitrary title, the article is still a useful description for how to be effective as an experienced engineer. The title is the least interesting part of it.

It’s only useful if you consider a single anecdote useful. For every OP’s example I can come up with at least 2 where you follow their advice and it goes south, most likely there are thousands engineers who can do the same.

It’s a typical pat on the back/confirmation bias article so whoever identifies with this specific opinion can feel good and close the tab with “yeah, I’m a real senior”.
