You sound like you hold a lot of disdain for "the youngsters," and you'd be a liability on a team if you had any younger teammates.

Oldies can be hard to work with, and you're sort of proving it right here.

I have a disdain for people that don't finish what they've started and don't satisfy requirements. I don't feel as though that has much of anything to do with age. Anyway, if that makes me hard to work with, so be it.

Wait, are you telling me that you develop software to solve business needs and not as a personal art project?! What kind of crazy talk is this?!

And everyone younger than you fits this criteria? You're quite bigoted, I hope you realize that.
