So this week, I was teaching a new employee about the system. He is 30 years old and has been in the industry for six years now. At one point, I described an external tool that we use, which produces an XML file. Something felt off about his questions, and then a realization hit me:
"Do you know what XML is?"
He didn't.
I have a few takeaways:
1. I'm old.
2. I envy him—I hate XML. 99% of the time, it actively sabotages my work.
3. JSON simplicity won.

That's it. No moral.
