#2>It should be noted that some young designers have been known to exhibit behaviors of senior designers. And on rare occasions, you may see a senior designer in the wild behaving like a young designer. Scientists cannot confirm why this phenomenon exists.
It's called personality. Not everything needs 20 years of adulthood to be cultivated, some are born with it or grow into it young. About time the industry starts putting their money where their mouth is and take that 'people are different' advice themselves.

#6I still usually ask what the deadline is. The reason is given in the same article: "as many drafts and explorations as possible within the time allotted, then shares their favorite options."

Agreed. Much of this applies to anything where you’re in direct contact with a customer.

#8I don't like how the article uses "young designers" to mean "junior designers", as if time served magically gives you a senior level knowledge.

#9The article left a bitter taste. It's probably intentionally all black and white, but it does sound almost passive-aggressive to me.
I can safely consider myself senior designer (doing UX design for more than 20 years).
I always ask about deadlines. I believe not doing so is highly unprofessional. I have other tasks in parallel, clients have other tasks in parallel. Deadlines = priorities. Discussing priorities is critical.
I only "explore beyond just one idea" if agreed with the client.
Of course I explain what I did and why, but I also say “let me know what you think!”.
I never actually ask for help :-) But if I did, "asking for help by proposing a solution" seems counter-productive to me.
I disciplined myself to never "struggle" while working. But this line - "One blames their manager, mentor or client for their struggles. The other keeps working." - just sounds wrong to me.
I also think the most important piece is left behind in the article. The secret of successful UX design is to understand deeply what problem(s) your design is solving. Then it's just a matter of finding the best solution to these clearly defined problems and "designing" it.
