And your point? Companies like this realize that promoting / rewarding on results and competency, rather than age and tenure, is much more effective. But this is honestly nothing new.

It was surprising to me that the author just couldn't wrap his mind around it, despite going to such lengths to convince the audience that he was some amazing and prestigious tech journalist. With stuff like this, I think he was intentionally ignorant ("What?? A young manager?? He would be an assistant at my beloved, ironically extinct and thus irrelevant Newsweek"), so as to appeal to an audience that just isn't familiar with the tech scene beyond what they see on TV.

Uh, he was right unless you missed the part where the 28 year old was replaced by someone even older than the author.

There's something the vast majority of millennials seem to lack and that is respect for the wisdom that comes with age. This doesn't say anything else that necessitates a defensive posture or taking a chip on one's shoulders - though another character flaw of applying and seeing everything in the light of themselves generally causes this. This is the naivete of youth and unfortunately most don't even realize as much until they are way past their youth
