    I’m kind of curious how late gen X and millennials will be at that age in regards to tech.

    I work in software dev. I’ve interviewed 2 CS grads who did their whole degree on an iPad while acting as if its an accomplishment.

    My engineers also religiously use ChatGPT. It has a tell in that all its code comments start with a capital letter without punctuation. All their merge requests where coding conventions were not followed and “help I’m stuck” non-working code has these comments.

    They are super smart and hard workers. They just lack the experience of needing to figure shit out without aide because it didn’t exist.

    As long as their isn’t some mass cognitive decline for that generation, I think there might be a dip in general technical knowledge when millennials that had to figure things out check out and all that’s left are those who want to understand the tech they use.
