There is a young/old divide.

There was a similar divide in the 2000s when Google Search got ubiquitous and writing code got easier than ever. I know a lot of people quit to become 'managers' because they didn't want to fix code which most of the times was being copied from the internet and pasted. Similar arguments on correctness, verbosity and even future maintainability were made. Everybody knows how that went.

Millennials are just gradually turning into boomers as they enter their 40s.

I must be the exception! A big survey on this would be interesting to go from anecdotes to data.
