I've been a professional C, Perl, PHP and Python developer.
I'm an ex-sysadmin from the late 20th century.
These days I do more Javascript and CSS and whatnot, and promote UX and accessibility.
I noticed a few weeks ago when I was doing something on SO - I can't remember whether I was writing an answer or editing a question in the queue - and a side panel appeared saying a lot of helpful things about how to help new users without being condescending.
I remember thinking that was a good idea both as it stood and as a healthy reminder to people who might tend to be antagonistic.
I only saw it the once and don't think it appeared in relation to anything specific I was doing. The language it used was very similar to this linked post.
