Not the employees, the community

Exactly; I have nothing but sympathy for the affected people but SO-the-community was on the way out anyway. I'm almost 40, I understand, and can tolerate to some extent, someone sometimes going into Linus Torvalds mode.

But it totally does not jive with the 20-somethings that just start their career, and need guidance the most.

Hostility towards new users is an issue across most communities, see Reddit and Discord.

Perhaps it has less to do with Linus Torvaldisms, and instead a generational gap between. Afterall SO has been around for 15 years, and it replaced the god awful Experts Exchange.
