it's weird to hate on older generations, particularly when you consider so much of what we use today in terms of algorithms was thought of in the 70s or older. none of that became irrelevant. the only maybe maybe advantage that younger folk have is that they might use newer languages or frameworks, but then when those go out of style and they only have 1 tool in their belt and you've collected dozens over the years... it really won't matter if they're more proficient in one tiny area. but let's be real, the languages and frameworks were never the problem to begin with. its the knowledge and foresight to see where things are going to go wrong which you can only get by years of experience
