Hi, the fringe complaint-seeking internet loony here. Ageism is a real thing with consequences affecting the very livelihood of millions of people. I don't know the author's age, but people in their thirties sometimes think calling themselves old farts is cute. My bet is they'll change their minds once they hit their fifties, if they don't exit the industry by then. But dismissing all that as trolling is certainly the easy way to go.
