    That’s not how getting older works. At all. Especially in tech.

    You know one of the funniest things about people insulting me over my age? If everything goes well for you, you’ll be here one day too. And it’s going to be a lot sooner than you think.

    And then you can have Gen Beta insult you for being an old fogie tied to the tablet ecosystem when brain interfaces are the norm.

    I hope you remember this moment when it happens to you, but you likely won’t.

      You’re right, tech moves fast and requires continuous learning, but you can still learn as you get older. However, it’s quite clear from your comments in this entire thread, that you have not.

      You do not want to learn new things and lash out when people point this out or provide you software that might require you to learn something to deploy it expecting every project out there to be point and click and ready to go.

      Have you even contributed to an open source project? At all? Do you know what goes into maintaining these projects? “30 years in IT” doesn’t mean shit, that could easily be 30 years in hell desk or 30 years in IT “middle management”
