    some cranky old dude

    Ageism is a delicious generalization: hateful and with extra ad-hominem.

    I’m sorry if you’re finding experienced people are too often older than you. Please don’t take this trend the wrong way.

      If you think “cranky old dude” is hate speech you need a hard reality check. Must be nice to not have to deal with actual hate speech about who you are.

      Also old is a mindset. I have no idea who that guy’s age is, but when you’re dismissing a 13 year old tech out of hand as a fad then you’re acting old and cranky.
