[citation needed]
These kinds of comments just make those who agree be sure to upvote, they're part of this perceived in-crowd after all, and most of the time (here too) it's fairly obviously true so a lot of people will upvote. Of course a newb will copy more code than a veteran. They also have very different functions in organisations on average. It's neither an opinion nor unpopular.
- metalforever 6y agoThat’s not exactly what I’m saying. Veteran isn’t really the same thing as “age”. Also, I think it is pretty controversial for one to claim that some people don’t really use Stack Overflow
- lucb1e 6y ago> Veteran isn’t really the same thing as “age”. Of course not, but at the same time there are not that many 15-year-old gurus. It's not really the same thing, but on average people will gain more experience as they do a job for longer, and to do a job longer you need to age. It's not causal, but definitely correlated.
