The SJ part I gave more context in a reply to: Spivak But to address the level of statements: I see SJ as one part of it, not the only or major part. > enthus

The SJ part I gave more context in a reply to: Spivak But to address the level of statements: I see SJ as one part of it, not the only or major part. > enthusiastic nerds Maybe it's the spaces I'm in but I'm not seeing that these days. I'm not hearing about personal projects people have made anymore. I'm not seeing a lot of enthusiastic young presenters at conferences etc. I'm just seeing younger people trying to stand out in the rat race and they aren't similar to when I was growing up. (I.e. lan parties, identifying as nerdy people and grouping together, etc). The last young person I recall being like that was a guy who did a presentation on using Joycons at Scaladays 2017? This was a kid that did have experience in the us first robotics group. But f me.. a high schooler pretty good at Scala.. that's awesome!
