My wife and I started talking about this after she had to help an old lady at the DMV figure out how to use her iPhone to scan a QR code. We’re in our early 40s.

We had a millennial tech writer working for us. She had no understanding of git, filesystems, command line usage. That was after a 4 hour short course on git. She got upset when she didn’t know where a file was and I told her to search for it. Apparently that was too vague so I had to show her how to search for a file in a folder. Other gems from her “I tried to cd into the devel branch but it did not work”.
Non programmer millennials are terrible with computers, they have no understanding of how computers work.
Hmm. I only know techies so I guess my understanding of a generation at large has gaps in it. Though git isn’t the most intuitive thing to use. Juniors engineers struggle with it a lot and tend to use GUI based tools that make it a bit less intimating.
