This is a nice counter example. Although it's clear the article has good intentions, it's promoting unscientific thinking with an appeal to authority ("yes, they go brrrrrr extremely quickly much of the time, and senior developers know that!"). I think there is a point to be made about how we all could benefit from quelling our outrage at decisions we initially disagree with before we've heard all the evidence, but that has nothing to do with seniority.
