- motorest 2y ago> So the youth are always correct and always an improvement? I don't think this is an issue of "the youth", inasmuch it's an issue with "the old" struggling to understand a world where people don't play by their rules anymore. Pay attention to the absurdity: a blogger complaining that today's junior devs don't do the hard work of... asking questions in stack overflow? That's their baseline of expertise and knowledge-seeking? I'm old enough to remember "the old" complaining that junior devs can't code anymore because they just paste nonsense they copy from stack overflow. How times have changed.

- abenga 2y agoNo, but the best of them will generally do great things with the tools they are afforded. Just like all the previous generations.
- deeg 2y agoAlways is too strong of a word but if you look at the history of human development I'd say that in general each generation is an incremental improvement over the previous one.
