Weird, I don't recall having an alt-account and posting this. That's old age I guess.

I do the same, try to help the young'uns shooting themselves in the foot. I've always enjoyed that part of the job.

It really annoys me that while I feel having the decades of experience to see through hype and the willingness to help newcomers are possibly the most important aspect of being a senior IC, no-one in the current culture care about that or see it as valuable.
