one extremely hilarious aspect of working with newer coders is the expressions

when they realize that the 20 year old code is where they were actually headed
with their own code but their refusal to look to the past for education
hampered them...
Even funnier when they see 20 year old code on 20 year old computers running
circles around their code on modern computers. I have seen it, yes I have.
hehehe, yup! you're not the only one...
newer is better? oh yeah? how? :lol:
Careful guys... You are starting to sound like old farts :)
"You kids, get off my lawn!"
Growing old is hard to do, but its inevitable. If you have kids, you'd
know how hard it is to tell a teenager anything. You have to let them
think they are discovering something you already know, and then they'll
get it thinking it was their idea. Identity building & ego is far more
important to a younger developer that your great code. Its a strange
trait of us humans. If only we were machines....
They'll work it out eventually. By the time they do, they'll be telling
their kids the same thing. And the circle of life continues...
