This is an industry in which anger and condescension over techniques and knowledge disparities can be safely ignored as the responses of immature people whose opinions will become less and less relevant as time goes on.

I've been a software developer for over two decades, and I'm thrilled to see so much evolution in the industry: while we still have dinosaurs (and, let's face it, newbies who buy into old stereotypes and pick up dinosaur behaviour), I feel like there's a huge movement towards collaboration and cooperation, mutual learning and sharing, and that's transforming the software ecosystem into something so much greater than it has ever been.

The two most powerful lessons I ever learned was to write code that any idiot with no context - including future me - could maintain under pressure, and to let go of my "code babies" if they didn't serve me or my employer. There's no place for ego in good software development, just a willingness to learn, collaborate, and share.

You're doing this right, keep it up!
