This, but also: "can you make an effort to conform yourself to others instead of forcing others to conform to you;" Inexperienced people often lack the visibility of their elders, so it really makes sense to see whether they can lower their ego. > Some fresh out of school smart people might consider it a thing of the past. And just decide not to deal with it. Like COBOL. Are you using "smart" positively or not? Being smart is often frowned upon in SE. Then, driving smart people away still is a good thing. If you meant positively... considering things of the past to be useless by mere virtue of being of the past, is definitely not a positive character trait, so we'd have a contradiction. Side note, but the problem with COBOL is not that it's old; to quote wikipedia: > COBOL has been criticized for its verbosity, design process, and poor support for structured programming. These weaknesses result in monolithic programs that are hard to comprehend as a whole, despite their local readability.
