Working with others - developers

How would somebody work with somebody that there's a significant gap in the skill? such as junior and senior developer? while the senior will see id believe in most places a 'mess' or 'not the best practices' or 'this code isn't coded the right way '.

Somebody who starts, somebody that's junior, somebody that's significant time into the development word, seniors and the top professionals that are one of the best?

Code reviews play are large part in working with people under you when you are a senior dev. A lot of your work should be looking over their code and providing feedback on both things they are doing correctly as well as helping them to refactor or correct their code in the event that something isn't secure or efficient.

I've been in both positions, when I was junior, most of my time was spent in code reviews and being taught how to do new things. Once I was senior I would teach things to the people below me and review their work as well. Senior devs typically also have the say when it comes to project requirements and decisions such as what technology gets used.
