So as a senior, you could abstain. But then your junior colleagues will eventually code circles around you, because they’re wearing bazooka-powered jetpacks and you’re still riding around on a fixie bike

Lol this works in a way the author probably didn't intend. They are wearing extremely dangerous tools that were never really a great idea. They'll code some circles, set their legs on fire, and crash into a wall.
