Well the title is literally about being a “Senior Engineer”, not a manager. That said, there are numerous bullet points about mentoring others, leading by example, and setting work culture. Number 18 is “Be a mentor to a couple of junior engineers.”
> Thus don't consider this list anywhere near complete if your career path envisions being a manager (of different kinds).
While you’re not wrong, I don't think anyone should expect a checklist titled “Senior Engineer’s Checklist” to cater to management items. A manager’s checklist would subtract a lot of the IC items from this list.
Management isn’t a superset of IC work. It’s a different job.
