Sigh.
- zxcdw 13y agoI understand this as in that younger ones have more wild ideas than pragmatic engineering solutions, unlike older ones tend to skew towards the engineering solutions rather than the ideas. In a way I see it as ideas vs. implementations. A gross generalization and oversimplification, perhaps doesn't reflect to reality at all, but maybe the thought prevails among certain groups of people in SV.
