All in interpretation. I implicitly assume 'listen to your elders' is about experience, not age. Perhaps others read that differently.
I don't think anyone is arguing a young PHD should do what an old chimney sweep tells him just because he's older. Unless of course said advice applies to PHD somehow.

The problem is that it's what inexperienced elders say to force their opinion on you.
If someone needs to say "listen to your elders" then they aren't able to articulate their argument well enough to stand without it.
(I've been programming much longer than the 32 years claimed by the article author. No one should listen to me because I'm old, except in the case where I'm talking about specific incidents I witnessed that younger people didn't.)
