What do you believe that most people younger than you don't?

Prog rock is interesting and enjoyable. Reading is a hobby activity. Taking notes on paper in an organized logbook has merit. Programs should be lean and easy to maintain. Abstraction. The Unix philosophy and tool orientation. Programmer vs code efficiency. Muscle cars. Hacker is a title earned by years of practice creating code that solves problems, rather than a mantle to be claimed. It becomes obvious. You really are reinventing wheels most of the time. The cloud is “somebody else’s server”. You don’t have to be an asshole to get people to follow you.

Absent any real data -- which currently no post in the thread contains -- this seems like it just reduces to "What stereotypes do you hold about people younger than you?"

1) There is almost always a pretty good reason why things are the way they are in spite of what it seems.

2) There is almost always a pretty good reason why people do what they do in spite of what it seems.

3) Everyone else is not at idiot in spite of what I think.

4) I'm no better than anyone else in spite of what I secretly believe.

Actually, the lack of appreciation of these truths is widespread across age. It's just that older people tend to be a little more patient and can more easily deal with their frustrations.

That personal accountability for ones actions is key to personal growth and development.

Blaming other people for my shortfalls only does a disservice to myself.

- Vaping is not "better" than smoking.

- Being healthy and being fit are not the same thing.

- You can't replace your laptop with a phone.

We are at greater threat of a nuclear exchange than at any time since October/November 1983.

  - tobacco is a vile habit
  - developers belong in offices
  - unreachable is the default OoO state

Exactly two genders.
