>>> In my experience, this problem is really prevalent among the youngest people. I had the pleasure to work with brilliant people that are part of the Gen Z bracket, but most of the ones I worked with can’t get anything done. It’s not lack of experience, it’s because they are constantly defaulting to their phones, watching endless videos or even playing games while they are supposed to deliver. As a genx'r Ill tell you this is not true. The desperate need to have assess in seats + money brought a lot of folks to software who arent INTO it. The nerds of ye olden days were different, you were into computers cause you were a geek. GenZ still has geeks (probably fewer of them, computer labs, and computing teachers went away like shop class for this generation). They are just as good as the geeks of previous eras. In fact I would say that the gen z geeks are better off for their age. THe mark the author did miss is that we have decades of tooling. The in it for the money group just adds packages till things work, and that set has been around since 2000 (gen x). Its just that in 2000 they were writing HTML and today they are downloading leftpad (and its decendents). Its only worse because we supercharged their productivity (destructivity).
