My first programming job was in a company with really high staff turnover. I was assigned to work on $product with a more senior guy (also in his early 20s, but he'd been a programmer since he graduated and I hadn't). After I'd been there about 8 months, he moved on to a better company, so I became the most senior developer on $product and got a couple of minions of my own.
The company sent me abroad on my own to talk to the team in charge of the corresponding product at a former competitor they'd acquired, to help plan the integration of their product with ours. They sent an email to these guys (who were mostly middle-aged actual senior devs) introducing me as the "lead architect" for $product.
Lead architect. I was 24, looked 12, and had been a programmer for less than a year.

Senior developer here is generally someone who's been developing for at least 5 years and has showing interest and aptitude in a broader view, communicating with other teams, and generally higher levels of responsibility. Which seems reasonable to me.
