This is the kind of bullshit advice that alienates people while they are young. They is no dearth of senior developers who are absolute morons, who have coasted on the other people's work and the only proof of their expertise the $years on their resume. Perhaps I am salty because I am in the same situation as the OP, albeit with a little bit more experience. I have one of these senior developers in my current team, who has about 10 years of experience. He consistently tries of evade code reviews, probably because a good part of whatever he writes is mind boggling gibberish (dead simple things like proper handling of database connections are not done). Most of the features he has developed are buggy incoherent messes that require debugging every other week. He might might be the most brilliant developer in this hemisphere, but the code he writes and the design decision makes it seem like might be a mentally disabled chimp. He the second oldest guy in the team after me, but he isn't able to answer literally any question related to whatever we've built. Worse, he doesn't admit that he doesn't know it, instead he spouts bullshit which is misleading or outright wrong and waste hours of others time. Even the other so-called senior developers aren't any better, most of them do the bare minimum to keep things working. The situation is so bad my manager has started assigning the bulk of the development/deployment work to me and 2 other devs, since nobody else seems to care about anything at all. So yeah, we don't know what situation OP is in (he might be at fault too), but outright dismissing his complaints based on his lack of experience isn't exactly right.
