As a Gen Zer myself, parts of this rubbed me the wrong way in the sense that it feels like many gen X/boomers are applying the mindset that got them their success in their early life is still relevant today. We've become jaded growing up in a world that is increasingly difficult to live in - in my home country we have massive cost of living increases, ever-nascent climate change, housing shortages and income inequality, aging population combined with policy changes that make life better for the boomer generation. Many of my peers have given up hope that they will ever be able to buy their own home. We're stressed, lonely, and are a generation of test subjects to big-tech's addiction machines. Working in tech has it's benefits and I am lucky to not be faced with many of these issues personally, but I know plenty of people my age and younger that have gone past the stage of "terrified for the world their kids will grow up in" and into a numb subsistence. |

They will resent you for whatever you did or didn't, and you will judge them for not understanding or (not) doing XYZ.
