>> Just like I can drive to my local mall without even thinking about it.

I have seen plenty of software that appears to have been written by someone who was 'not even thinking about it' and it is invariably problematic and expensive-to-maintain.

Do you really believe there are senior devs that are productive without even thinking about it?

That just strikes me as odd -- maybe they are working on stuff should be given to Juniors?

All the time. I’ve done it myself plenty of times over my career.

Would you give a delivery job to a brand new driver or a driver who has done the required route dozens of times and could do it without thinking?
