If we are honest, we must say we used to be the same, right? How can anybody get old in this job without the confidence that you know it all and can do everything?
And now give him a kick, plus one from me as well. After all we have forgotten more about this than he ever knew.

Regularly. I have a denim jacket that I bought from new, that's older than some of the people I regularly deal with professionally.
The beauty of having reached a certain age is I now know how little I know. It's very liberating.

I AM that arrogant youngin' (after almost six years I wouldn't say "newcomer") who thinks he knows everything 
There's a difference between me and all those other arrogant youngin's though, I DO actually know everything!

I don't think age comes into it. From what you wrote it looked like the chap was genuinely trying to be helpful. Being younger and less experienced doesn't automatically mean they are wrong. Remember, we were all young developers at one time. I learn new stuff all the time from working with younger devs, and they learn from me as I'm older and wiser. Everyone's a winner

From prior encounters, it's a bit more like he's trying to assert his authority and impress others.

I took a day off tomorrow and if everything goes well some cows may be irritated by a buzzing noise over their heads.
And please, no Gexit. I like visiting my neighbors too much and don't want to eventually revive the old habit of shooting at them.

I've been hanging around Code Project for years, but I have never gotten involved in any discussions nor have I written any articles. My official title at the moment is "Lurker".
I got burned years ago on Planet Source Code submitting articles, so I've been quite sheepish posting anything here; however, I just had to write this post to express my gratitude for all of the hard work the moderators put in to make sure Code Project a quality site. I was "lurking" around all of the forums reading all of the interesting conversations and realized just how much work that has gone into this site.
From a fellow developer, I say thank you for a great site! Even though I don't post, I do feel like a part of the community.
Life is but a dream, so don't wake me!

Thank YOU. More than the servers, the hamsters, the staff, and the Maunder-machine we fill with coffee and force to work through the night, what makes CodeProject what it is is YOU, the community. You're an integral part of that and we thank you for your dedication.
(and if you ever want to post an article in a burn-free environment, please feel free to send me and email. I'll take a look at your initial idea and drafts, offer you resources, and can even send you to the small group of kindly Mentors to help your article to completion. or you can continue to lurk as long as you like, we're very happy to have you)
Thanks,
Sean Ewington

Thanks Sean, I really appreciate it. I do have several ideas and I'll make sure I run them by you first.

Ah one of the silent majority, welcome to the light. You should get out more often, it can be entertaining, some will laugh at you, some will laugh with you and some will call you a grumpy old bugger.
I had to give up articles when we went to xaml, Silverlight and then WPF, winforms were simple by comparison, everything was under the same rock not scattered across the landscape

Tell me about it. I'm currently working on a project for the Microsoft Hololens, which incorporates xaml in conjunction with Unity 3D and Windows 10. Deployment on those things are a real PITA.

I stumbled onto this place almost 10 years ago and joined for the daily newsletter. It was a few years before I found the Lounge and probably a couple more before I ever posted here. I agree with you...it's a great community.
Now, that you've broken the ice, we expect to see more of you here!

Yes it is. I currently work for a global company with its two main offices in the US and Scotland, so I know that sometimes the cultural differences can be cause issues; however, I love how this community works together, but still has the humor and playfulness to make it interesting and fun.
