From a different perspective, he's probably really sensitive about how he's worked shitloads of hours, burnt out, and while he does have something to show for it, it probably isn't proportional to the misery he had to endure.

It makes sense that he's bitter towards millennials. Younger people in tech get paid very well relative to others their age. You can almost trivially learn how to do most programming-type jobs online for free.

Also, I don't know for sure and I really don't want to speculate too far, but it definitely sounds like he ruined his own marriage because of his job.

Given that it makes a lot of sense that it feels "unfair" that some kid can get up to speed with trivial effort, work 30 hour weeks, and maintain human relationships today. He's disproportionately invested so much into who he is that it's unbearable to think that a "millenial" might be doing better than him. Since this is literally the case right now, he needs to create his own hosed up value system where everything he did was actually incredibly important and kids today are definitely going to get what's coming to them -- unless they take to heart his sage words of wisdom.
