The point is not that one needs to be a teenager ("child") to break into systems. None of what I have said is incompatible with the assertion that older coders have more skills, a point with which I agree. However it is not a contradiction to say that innovation does not require huge experience, and indeed is sometimes hampered by it.

A vacant comment devoid of insight, by a self-satisfied person oblivious to their predisposition to complacency.
