I'm pretty sure it's more like

Junior dev: Got all the nice addons, RGB lighting, only uses dark theme, got all the stickers, works from either a café or moms basement.

VS Senior dev: Works on company standard issue hardware, barely customizes visuals (but got a script which makes a cup of coffee on the shared machine in exactly 2 minutes and 30 seconds), works in shared office, has old rolling cabinet with unknown artifacts last touched 10+ years ago.

Obviously this is an overgeneralization and not a catch-all, you might even say that it's "programmer humor".

I got that coffee script reference

What a mad lad. His legend is spoken to this day

I do have that cabinet but I dared to open it 5 years ago. I hope I won't lose my senior title

VS Senior dev

I see that. Non-VS Senior devs be like: standard issue hardware?

How many years is a senior of that quality at this point?

I’ve been doing it 21 years and I use vscode, and have no cabinets.

Well there's your problem. You need to get a cabinet.

It does sound convenient.
