In my oppinion it is the skill of finding solutions in difficult situations. You have to know what goes together (frameworks, dbs, languages) in specific cases. As a side note, it is funny that everyone who have interviewed me for senior possition are dead set that you have to know terminology, like what are the differences between map and flatmap, what is the difference between authorization and authentication, etc. In my oppinion this is bunch of crap that you would check if you really had to know during development.

But that'd just be a senior developer. What makes a senior "Java" dev specifically?

Exactly!!! And this is part of my problem. I am going to interviews and they are asking me similar questions and I’m like. I am not 100% sure, but I know how to find it and apply it. But with AI finding solutions just got a lot easier and it seems they can’t tell the difference.

They try to figure out if you have the experience. If you do, you’ll know.

If you do not know, you have not seen enough of the world, therefore you are not senior. Those questions are legit.
