Ask HN: What traits of senior engineers do you find most valuable?

I'm curious to know what non-senior engineers (juniors, mids, managers, CTOs etc) see as valuable traits in their senior engineers (and "above"). Some observations of the seniors on my team I really respect: Patience in many forms. Patience to read docs and understand beyond surface level, to not jump to conclusions, to think about a problem abstractly before diving into implementation, etc Strong communication. Whether translating a difficult problem to juniors, management, or non-technical folks. This also includes a significant amount of EQ (i.e. they're just nice people). Plays a role in mentoring and also arguing "up" for support on engineering priorities. Willing to let go. This is a harder one to grasp - but basically being okay with scratching a project or area of code when it makes sense to, willing to set aside an opinion or lose an argument when it makes sense to, etc. What else?
