Just curious, why the "millennial" descriptor? Is having trouble understanding the OS something unique to only "millennial" self-taught programmers?

In my experience, Gen X and Boomer self taught programmers spent a lot of time hacking at the application or system level and have less holes in that area. They have other holes in their knowledge base, just not those ones.

That's exactly the reason I chose that descriptor. In fact, the field "Computer Science" may not have existed before.
