These posts read as "please somebody solve it for us." Not really. They were pointing out a problem. Highlighting a problem isn't the same as pleading for help. This reminds me of https://xkcd.com/1232/ https://xkcd.com/1232/ At what point is it ok to talk about your own problems? Only when no one else has worse problems? Think we have problems with older developers employment? Influence a hire of a team of them. Who will do that for you? I can't figure out what you mean. Could you clarify?

I'm all for pointing out problems. I do it all the time and probably bothered a good amount of my friends. I just find this problem reported massively more than it is worth. Everybody who cares even a bit is long aware. Today, I will appreciate posts on "what we did about this problem already". And I have already seen one just recently: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13194074 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13194074
