In some of the discords I'm in for programming as a hobby, I see people who are 10+ years below me that are far more motivated, knowledgeable, and competent that I was at that age (and some moreso than I am now).
I doubt there's any significant differences between the populations.
- gaspard234 5y agoThis makes me think of my grandfather, a master mason who worked with thousands of other masons to build large parts of my city. That skillset is nearly forgotten. Sure there are great instructional youtube videos and instagram masons who are brilliant but the vast talent pool is gone. We struggled to find someone to patch a giant rock wall earlier this year. I understand why people don't want to learn it and haul rocks and bricks everyday but that knowledge base is on it's way out.
