This - Hacker News is one of the worst: Arrogant trash highly technical programmers :
"And I realized that the inherent bitterness and negativity of programming arguments and technical defensiveness on the web were making me bitter and negative. "
And indeed this :
"I've consciously tried to rewind, to go back to when programming was a tool for implementing my visions."
At over 50, implementing from a user perspective rather than from boorish technical perspective gives me a fantastic advantage over just technical programmers.

Maybe the technical programmers just aren't in a place where their talents are valued and used effectively? Maybe you found a great place that's a good fit before they did?
