Good. We don’t need to learn any of this shit. You can do it ourselves and facilitate the tools for us users
And they’re almost as conservative as boomers too. Fucking shame.
I can:
- Accomplish damn near anything from a command line
- Write machine code
- Remember a fairly broad swath of special character altcodes without looking them up
- Disassemble damn near any computer or other machine, and stand a good chance of putting it back together
But also:
- Use modern programming languages, including object oriented paradigms
- Actually read what is on my screen and comprehend it, including error messages
- Understand and operate any arbitrary interface without having to have it explained to me by rote
Behold my mixture of skills, and tremble.
Can you summarize this in a vertical video? I stopped reading after the third word, I’m here for memes, not to read a damned book!
This is spot on!
EDIT: This was spot on. TL;DR below.

Let me guess: they’re talking about Millennials, and are entirely forgetting about Gen X once again.
Me: Behold!
*quickly presses Control+V
Classmate: Woah! How did you do that??!!!
True story but as a millennial teaching another millennial in college.
Former boss: How do I make my computer run faster?
Me: you could install more RAM.
FB: Oh do I download that from the internet?
Me: …no, it’s hardware…you have to open the computer up and physically put it in there.
FB: I should have known that, I majored in Computer Science
…I was fired a week later because she “felt threatened”. Lol.
I had that happen after I told the IT manager who always showed up drunk that his flash drives weren’t working because he couldn’t expect to buy an 8 pack of 1TB flash drives of amazon for $30 and that he was at worst handing out viruses.
I also told the interns to demand full time positions for doing all the work and not be taken advantage of so that didn’t help with the HR director.
Computers have been dumbed down and simplified for the masses. When I was a kid a computer did not cooperate until you raised your voice.
I do industrial programming. Everything is so far behind that yelling at the “computers” does nothing. Physical violence is just about the only thing they respect.
That’s where the term punch card comes from
