I can't empathize. Im only good when my edit compile run cyclus works normally and that's unfortunately never the case.

But I have a tip. What I think is really important for senior developers is to be team players and not try to hover over your colleagues work. Like right now there's this guy who is more experienced with some things than me. But now he's often checking out my branches, testing them and fixing things on them, often in the evening when I'm off the clock. I would like to be able to finish some of my work myself, ideally. With him on the team its just not going to be possible for me to be of much value, because it always will look like I need help. Even though I could possibly fix these things myself. Could be that this applies to you or maybe it doesn't, but it's important regardless.
