These coder-bros I was interviewing with accused me of Googling the answers and started in on the complete condescension

I'm really sorry about that man... I guess young people tend to feel like they own the world. I'm 27 and I believe I have been raised outside this toxic bubble (I got a lot of shit from my parents, I never thought I was somewhat special just for the sake of it, I only felt special after achieving goals, I always felt necessary to them though, regardless of achievements). I believe younger people are raised like they are too special, the promise of a better world, the ultimate legacy of their parents and that tend to go over their heads, specially after a historical period of unprecedented growth in which my parents and I believe their parents lived (60s through 80s) in which they prospered.

Young people tend therefore to believe they inherited their parents achievement and they can only go forward. I feel lucky I don't share that and I would love to be your coworker and learn from you.
