"Let's crap on a young developer's hard work (with the admirable goal of making things easier for the uninitiated through technology they're already familiar with, rather than the CLEARLY superior approach of screaming 'RTFM!' at them for the gazillionth time like a crotchety, condescending curmudgeon), with nothing of actual value to add to the discussion! Doesn't that idea sound amazing??"
How does one rise to the level of lead developer, let alone CTO, with such people "skills?" Because I've always found that - at any level of dev advancement - uplifting and acknowledging the potential in (and positive contributions of) my peers (and they're always peers, regardless of the org chart), and offering constructive criticism, are critical.
