Boomer means what now, anyone over 40?


anyone that is old and grumpy at internet (+ real life)

neck beard balding would be pissed to me since I'am not being pedantic


That is the irony. Not sure how old are you but you are the one supporting "grumpy" (bitching about Forgejo) in this thread.


Someone did not read the homepage, did not do a web search and complained about the term "software forge" in a HackerNews comment, and I am "old and grumpy at internet"? :D

There are so many opportunities to learn it, and recognize it from one of the existing projects still using it in the name, and it's better to complain on HN?

(Though I guess I still classify as a millenial, but I would love to be closer to boomer when it comes to CS experience)


The term boomer is just ageist, and comments like this don't deserve any other answers than "stop being ageist".

And nope, I'm not in the target, so I'm not being defensive here.

Although we all know many nice people who are targeted by this term.
