    So you’re saying a junior dev doesn’t know how to work on more than one file at a time, and cannot get a development job during the day?

      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”.
