It goes in cycles has been my observation. I think some of it is that as new generations rise in tech, young guys coming up always seem to think they have to take it out of others hide how wrong they are. Very weird cultural phenomenon in tech. Then folks chill out, get older, gain some wisdom, dial back the vitriol.

Then their children show up and the cycle repeats again.

Time flows like a river, and history repeats itself...

It’s like this in every industry and everything else (more or less with some nuance)
