I have heard from friend that teach in higher end that students are struggling more and more with getting information from text. It seems those students have now found there way into the work force.
Was going to say, very much seems like the opposite of a generational problem. Seems more like everything we’d vaguely define as ‘the tech industry’ has become big enough that it’s workforce now includes the individuals who wouldn’t have been considered competent 10 years ago.
One of my old coworkers from a place I no longer work would come to me for every exception his code threw. Being generous, I understand his intentions, he was curious if they were known problems or things to avoid. That said, every time I asked him what line of code it happened on or if he’d searched online about it the answer was no. I was probably ~25 at the time and had a bachelor’s degree. He was definitely at least 50 and had a PhD.

bruh i know people in their 40s making 6 figures that couldn’t read an error message if it would save ten generations of their family.

>>> students are struggling more and more with getting information from text >>> found there way >> people [...] that > it's workforceThe question is whether this running gag is intentional.

Note that “kids these days” is the flipside to “old people are out of touch”.
