it's not the experience or knowledge part that bothers me, as you said people focused on different things and everyone starts from 0. it's the attitude of giving up when their ai slop doesn't work or coming up with bandaid solutions to get the task done quickly rather than trying to actually learn or see the bigger picture. it's an era of short attention span and fast dopamine due to tech, ofc everyone is affected but gen z and a more so because their parents put ipads in their faces since 0 years old.

I remember vividly watching someone type in the address bar of their browser "google", and hit enter. It took them to the google results page from which they pressed on the first result, google.com, and only then did they proceed to type in their search term.

No need to cast as any types at all just work with bits directly /s

Most of the people I know now never really acquired this skill, can't really lose what they didn't have

I used to think like this but then at one point I looked at my bed and I can't stand it. It eventually reflects on how you treat the rest of your home and outside as well . If you find a 10 second task infuriating and pointless that's not too far off from thinking mopping , cleaning toilet , ironing clothes are a waste of time as well.
