As an older dev, screw those older devs that 'roast your code'.
The really good ones won't do that. The ones that do suffer from some weak superiority complex. I had three awesome mentors when I started writing C, and a couple great mentors when I did what little C++ work that I had to do.
The only scold I ever dealt with wrote overly wrought, overly complex crap. Kitchen sink patterns to handle any possible future variation, instead of solving the problem at hand.
Stay away from people like that, they'll just turn you into the same old grouch.
