This sounds more like advice that he's gathered or been given that seemed the best to him. I think that's fair. People give young people advice a lot. Also becoming a dad makes one feel quite a bit older. Now it would be interesting to see him reflect back on these in 30 years...

Turning down advice on the principal that someone is "only 30" is going to leave you missing out on lots of good advice as well. People, regardless of age, may have insights that you lack. Throwing it out wholesale is as foolish as blindly accepting it.

Agree that taking real life experience and wisdom from people is good regardless of age. This blog is just generic quotes though.

I’d argue that this is mostly a collection of other people’s live advice.

I’d agree with that. A quick skim says there’s nothing in that list I haven’t heard elsewhere. That doesn’t invalidate TFA, it is advertised as “collected bits”. But most does not appear to be original with the author.

I just turned 54 and I'm only starting to figure things out.

Of course you can be 30 and give advice. Is there a rule where you have to be a certain age to give advice?

Even if you're 10 years old, you are allowed to write on the Internet and no need to police yourself with arbitrarily "waiting".

Also an argument extrapolated on your own experience of 37 that nothing is figured out is not very good argument against when you can or cannot say something.

Yes, if you took my comment extremely literally and removed all humour your points would all be correct.

Ah my bad, sometimes hard for me to see that.

Just as Olaf the snowman sings in Frozen II, "This will all make sense when I am older ... 'Cause when you're older absolutely everything makes sense"

It’s more or less a collection of aphorisms that I would find in a book sitting on the back of my parents’ toilet.

I feel many people are more interesting in their 30s when they are still full of dreams and idealism than in their 50s after two marriages, a mortgage and a lot of hairloss.

For some the hairloss comes in the 20s

The dreams and idealism loses its luster after you've seen it play out enough times. The people in 50s should, on the other hand, have more mature and nuanced perspectives.

You're not wrong IMO. Sticking out a burst of short sentences as wisdom based on... 30. Isn't sticking.
