Not at all, what the "30 year" commenter did is even mentioned in the HN guidelines. See the section In comments:

> Be kind. Don't be snarky. [...] When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3."

Assume good faith, and try to get the point.

"That is a question that a junior developer would ask" is not on the same level as "that is idiotic".

If you're asking after "hot new tech" it's probably because you haven't been around long enough to see how tragically wasteful the "hot new tech" treadmill is. The "30 year" comment manages to communicate that very directly.

Or, perhaps, because you enjoy playing with “hot new tech”.
