There is no stopping of "current" mode. Yet.
When presenting my PD work for the young guns, I UX them to unconsciousness:)
Scratching the surface of a given topic and focusing on comfortable for them communication is the key.
I always let the door be open for the deeper questions without selling my "extra" knowledge or experience. They have to be the stars in the room, knowledgeable professionals have a critical way of thinking which is "annoying" and "unproductive".
Be soft, forgiving, friendly, and willing to learn the "new trends" without asking questions. Just tell you deeper knowledge to take back seat.
My only hope is in the recession. Maybe if we are lucky things will reach a critical point and all the "unicorn magic", "empty words", "big ideas" will meet reality. And we know that reality has no sense of humor or "culture fit". :)
- whimsicalism 4y agoGeneralizing about the younger generation, a tale as old as time. You are so much smarter and wiser than all of them, good job.
- nbzso 4y agoActually, yes. The tech industry has a strong fetish for "young and capable" and a proven record of ageism and undervaluation of professionals. I have taken my share on both sides of the spectrum. And I understand your "reactive" reaction perfectly. And approve it wholeheartedly, but we are reaching the point where things are looking scary and someone must take "the burden" and share honestly. Self-censoring is a real thing. With all this "political correctness" we forget that this friction between "young and old" when managed properly can make the world a better place. By the way, I respect and work with a lot of young people and regularly listen carefully for inspiration and fresh points of view from them.
