"You can't be right because you're a pompous ass who doesn't know his place," is an ad hominem argument, and not to be taken seriously. I happen to think your attitude is extremely annoying, and I can tell that I would not presently hire you for any job that required you to work with a team. But you might still be right about some things. Tying irrelevant character traits to the validity of your arguments would indeed be ad hominem.
As for the grandparent node, the point is that you have demonstrated that you don't have experience, and that happens in fact to be relevant to your power to make judgment calls. You plainly don't think so, but that's just too damned bad. Everyone else in the world (probably you, too) make judgments about how seriously to take other people's judgments on the basis of factors they deem relevant. The relevant issue here is that you are not likely a veteran programmer, so pointing that out is simply not a "fallacy." In addition to your evident inexperience, your omission of meaningful consideration of the alternative position in your so-called "argument" is another bright red flag, marking you as "what is often called," to use your insufferable phrase, a "blowhard."
