When I was at a .EDU that had a long history of computing (my desk in the 00s was in a 40ish year old "data center"), I heard the same bullshit from the greybeards. Then, when I went to work for a software company, I heard the same bullshit from the DEC alumni. I experienced this myself in seeing my last job go from awesome to another corporate borefest over 10 years. I think this is a natural way that things tend to go, and if you like the dynamic environment, you have to jump to what you think is the next interesting, new thing.
