Are we really taking cheap shots about age now? This is not how an argument is won and not how we do things around here. Your point stands on its own without ageism.
- dasil003 16y agoFair point, but this type of hubris is far more common (and more forgivable) in youth. Is it ageist to recognize this fact?
- vog 16y agoIt is irrelevant and very disturbing for the discussion. So it may not be exactly ageism, but it is definitely inappropriate.
- dasil003 16y agoYou're right. That was a mistake on my part, I'll take it into consideration for the future.
- mkr-hn 16y agoI've seen it at about the same rate in old and young. Though older people seem less likely to recognize and correct their error. But that's from personal observation, and I haven't made a point of recording my findings for analysis. I suspect you haven't either.
- jemfinch 16y agoI'm not sure why you consider it hubris for me not to trust the competence of other developers without evidence.
