I've been told to "stand" this kind of attitude and endure, I'm happy to know that my "let's jump from company-to-company until I'm comfortable" idea wasn't wrong after all.
DO NOT "stand" for this type of attitude. I'd be very surprised if this is the only toxic thing about the culture at a company that has this view, and I wouldn't want to stay around long enough to see more.
I've worked in a variety of companies throughout my career (development and otherwise), with people of all ages, and a person's ability is not measured by their age.
I have personally been managed by people who are 10/20 years my senior but, currently, my manager AND my tech lead are both younger than me and I can honestly say I'm in the best team I've ever been in.
It seems, since my original comment, your post has got a lot of attention. From what I can see, most of them are positive and encouraging.
Unfortunately, I have also read some comments that are disgusting. I know you'll know which ones I'm referring to. Just ignore them. Carry on as you are, and don't allow these trolls to make you believe you are the problem.
You deserve a non-toxic culture, no matter what stage you are at.
Thank you again Si, indeed I think this post caught the attention of some trolls, but it's worthless giving them even the smallest spark of attention...
Thank you for your response, Si.

Thank you for your kind words, have a nice day!
Yep. The best way to deal with these types of people is to just ignore them, that will annoy them more than anything else.
You too.
