Leave your job for something that's worth doing (medium.com)

The article headline doesn't match the article, which is a fairly poor essay that the "Senior developer role is dying".

I suspect people are upvoting this based on the headline alone because it's not a well written essay and doesn't back up its assertions.

I guess I am the only one who didn't understand a thing in this article.

""" A senior dev whom I respect for his technical prowess called me this morning. He called to fret over the meagre 12% raise he got...

I gave him the best I could — by listening to him for 30 long minutes.

Then I realized it wasn’t the best thing I could do for him. """

What was the best thing the author could do for him?.. to write an article encouraging him to leave?

I'm curious about the age of the person who wrote this article.
