I'm a young dev (26) that works with a lot of older developers (40-50) rather new to the field. My biggest annoyance with the older inexperienced devs is that they DON'T ask questions resulting in very bad design decisions. Keep a

True, but to be fair I did praise the 40+ year olds who stay up to date and know their stuff. Just slightly jaded due to the ageism at my current job and lack of fact checking by management.

"A hit to the pride is nothing compared to the pain of shipping something broken." Well said. This should be the golden rule of development. I feel that too often we (both young and old) don't ask questions because we fear th

"B) Are overly emotional and they all take things way too seriously." This can be a positive. My experience with 40+ year olds is that they tend to sacrifice user experience/security for what they know. "Our customers wo

There are a few products I made just to solve a problem for myself that I was too shy to share. I was very surprised how many people found my product and used it when I did 0 advertising and told 0 people about it. But to answer your questi

Apple is going for a paradigm shift with how we view watches; similar to what they did with the iPhone. It is best not to think of the iWatch as a watch but rather as a 2nd screen for the iPhone with sensors and haptic feedback.

Developing on an ARM server is a lot different than on x86. You will find that some packages don't work and a bunch of undocumented bugs. Some people believe that ARM is the future for servers since they're more energy efficient (

IANAL but as long as money does not change hands they should be in the clear. There is nothing stopping someone on an H1B doing a "hobby" and then pitch that "hobby" to investors to get seed money to form a startup. The
