Thanks for sharing your experience and glad to hear you've found a good job/team/product-environment!

My experience working with junior devs is that while they may be smart they haven't worked in teams and contributed to large codebases. So they may struggle to understand how a larger codebase is structured, where is the optimal place to fix an issue, how to structure their own code to be maintainable longer term etc. So code-reviews take longer, with seniors sometimes having to refactor a large amount.

I think some younger devs that contribute to open source projects do much better in this regard.
