I’m significantly older than you. I started coding in the late 60’s
Yeah, appeal to tangentially related experience, age and arrogance aren’t a way to inspire confidence in your work.
We live in the perfect times to display that experience, age and arrogance haven’t been working in almost any field, from politics to LLM development. We’ve yet to witness any system that operates well, while also eliminating human oversight. It doesn’t matter the guard rails you put in place. They’re only as strong as your personal ability to evaluate your own product, which itself is a conflict of interest.

Not to be too flippant, but: Boomers gonna boom. They literally can’t help themselves, they’re egomaniacal narcissists. The rare ones that aren’t that way can truly be awesome sources of perspective… but goddamnit so many of completely insufferable babies.

Makes me remember the joke of the failure of the Soviet bordello, they just didn’t understand why, they got the most experienced girls there were to find!
