FWIW, most of my lance corporals when I was a platoon commander in the Marines (average age ~20) were more inquisitive and freer thinkers than the engineers at the tech unicorn where I used to work (average age ~25).
That's just one data point though. YMMV.
- spitfire 11y agoThey were trained to be inquisitive. Silicon valley socializes to not rock the boat. Boyd FTW.

These days the inquisitive hacker stereotype is no longer relevant, diluted by the masses flocking to the tech fad ("hacker" now redefined to replace "code monkey", so cool) which in turn results in the tech industry having more fads as it comprises mostly people with a tendency to jump on a fad.
