A comment on Ask HN: Should I get mentored by this guy?. Parent comment
You know it, but how do you know the old fart in the article knows it?
I think the question being asked is whether the old fart has wisdom, or is just a mediocre/bad developer who's been around a while.
I think the point of the examples, was to provide context for people to help the asker determine the answer.
tldr, You address the specific examples well, but I think maybe you haven't answered the real question.
