I think that the engineers who began their careers in the first epoch are going to turn out to be some of the most productive and technically skilled having gone through each epoch which, frankly, grew easier to deal with every time.

They call that point out, basically, but I had no idea it'd be a 100x improvement.

I'm worried about 5th gen epoch engineers. On one side there is a massive amount of smart rust programmers who are super young in all the rust communities just as an example and on the other a lot of people who don't know anything beyond a gui operating system and have never owned a computer and do everything by phone.

I've been happily teaching linux quite a bit lately.
