I agree, reading it, and as it's the best possible interpretation being the OPs point of view, everything just screamed of 'senior developer in name only'. The manager clearly wasn't the best, but none of the scenarios were unworkable or unreasonable. If anything it's your fault for being unreasonably focused on churning code when the business needed an experienced head to help guide things. Refusing interns because it's be a distraction, refusing to properly estimate, basically refusing anything but focused coding time has is place in some job roles but clearly they're not senior ones.

You and i clearly read the wrong article. OP said an intern couldn't be handled in parallel to the existing work, which could be postponed. OP refused to waste the intern's time by not having the time to help them. OP said they aren't in a position to be able to deliver an estimate, yet. That never happens to you? And the PM needing the feature was okay with that, why is it a problem for you and the shit manager? OP was unhappy wasting time with repeated meaningless updates, which was also unproductive. They didn't refuse to provide them nonetheless.
