> There is nothing wrong with node.js programmers, your implication that they're inferior is a broad-sweeping and baseless generalization.

Not the point I was making.

The point is there was a systemic cleansing of senior architects in favor of younger node.js programmers.

Mozilla had the creator of JS there. It's probably one of the offices in the world where the grayhairs could co-exist with the newer crowd.

I thank you for your reply. I don't agree with everything said above (servo has paid off, hacker ethic matured to something better), but will say Mozilla does has a diverse array of new projects.

I'm hoping for your success. I'm happy and encouraged by your optimism. I hope it doesn't come at the expense of insensitively ignoring those who were pushed out wrongly for reasons that had nothing to do with merit.

I want to just program without all the backstabbing and treachery.

In this case, the drama at this organization in particular is so intense it manifests itself in the news. The creator of javascript, a pillar of the internet, was publicly humiliated and crucified.

Why? They knew his name. They looked up his voting records. That's witchhunting. It's letting a bunch of people in the peanut gallery dictate what goes on - that's not integrity or leadership.

I already suffered enough due to office politics, I feel no need to compromise my identity to voice my opinion.
