Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

I would love to work in that world. My experience is likely tainted by the jobs I got (past tense as I no longer work in tech; I'm in non-profit work now) having a lot of Junior devs straight out of college (and some interns still in college) so they hadn't yet experienced enough of life to break out of these childish mentalities.
Their description definitely fits my workplace. We just want to get our 40 hours of work done and sign off and spend time with our families. Stability is really important.
Basically no juniors though, pretty much all seniors that are in their 30s and 40s.
In my experience, the places that are real boys clubs are startups, since they tend to be filled with 20-something tech bros with no families or attachments.
