>Older developers miss being able to focus; younger ones think focus is antisocial I wonder how many devs can code for more than a hr without being connected to the internet. I had the pleasure to talk to some industry veterans who have been coding for more than 4 decades. It amazes me to see how they could code without constantly "needing" to be connected online and actually build stuff just by reading through reference docs and man pages. Atleast in my line or work (web dev), lately software dev has become more of team sport where one constantly glues things together and searches online in stackoverflow, github etc to look for answers or raise bugs with downstream projects. Dev itself seems to have become more Operations ish.
