Ask HN: Where are all of the mature developers?
Getting kind of sick of HN because of all of the young, inexperienced developers. Where are the more mature developers hanging out online these days?
Sometimes my stories may interest or bore younger devs but man I like listening to them, sometimes they show me something new or Shiny, and sometimes I may even pass on some knowledge they can chew on and perhaps even use. I enjoy coaching and mentoring and value those interactions.
I think the mixture of people, skills and experiences are why we take part in any community really.
Edits: poor keyboard usage.
I doubt that there's any magical hiding place that differs from other developer hangouts. It's not like we are all out there despondently pining for new comp.lang.c articles while chasing those damn neighbor kids off our lawns.
Perhaps specifying a more specific metric (languages, environments, databases, etc.) could facilitate your search?
2. On HN, but development is a popular career path now and there are just a lot more younger developers than there used to be.
Some companies are smart.
