You returned rubbish for rubbish. Younger people have to work more because they don't work efficiently? Absolute garbage.

I've met my fair share of older devs writing terrible code and taking their sweet ass time to do it. They just clock out on time and go home, safe in their assumption that their mission-critical piece will need their personal maintenance for another decade.

Really? I've been coding for almost 10 years and I haven't met that guy yet. I have several coworkers now who are young, energetic, and have a nasty habit of grossly over-engineering everything they touch.

Work for Microsoft or Oracle and you'll find them?
