    Late GenX (really, between X and Millennial): we expected everyone after us to understand tech. Nope.

      Digital safety seems to have disappeared

      The internet is a scary place, you should treat it like a scary place

        Nah fam, post with your real name, your real face, all your personal details, and then write your racist opinions next to them.

        I’m sure nothing will go wrong with that.

        Its a watered down and minimalist scary place. at least the Design language and UI of the conspiracy theorist websites are clean and sanitized today.

        In the 90s and much of the 2000s, That Web 1.0 style of webpages, even Granny’s Knitting website looked terrifying.

        … And I loved web 1.0

      Bingo. We straddled the digital divide, figured it out and deployed it to the world. Until a radical new technology comes along, there won’t be another generation like us.

      I have an 'intern` I’m working with on a project, kid doesn’t know how to read docs. Maybe doesn’t know how to read? 🤷 Thing is we are doing devOps and using powershell or terminal or whatever. So it’s literally all reading, all day long every single day. I don’t know what to do honestly.

        I can read docs and would be interested in an internship… Paid ideally, but would love to have a mentor to learn devops. I also know multiple programming languages and am comfortable in a terminal

        Cut your losses and get a new intern, it’s gonna take ten times longer to teach this kid to read than if you just do the project solo.
