For me it was reverse. When I was a junior I was reviewing PRs from the seniors and it couldn't have possibly been tested to work.

The seniors were super lazy and around half the PRs would have broken production.

Seniority often comes from years of work and not knowledge.

I try hard not to be an asshole at work. I also produce the most code. When my junior came on I told them that I’m here to help, and I want them to ask dumb questions instead of struggle. I also told them that I make mistakes, and they should call me on my shit—which they looove to do, brat.
