> So the youth are always correct and always an improvement?

I don't think this is an issue of "the youth", inasmuch it's an issue with "the old" struggling to understand a world where people don't play by their rules anymore.

Pay attention to the absurdity: a blogger complaining that today's junior devs don't do the hard work of... asking questions in stack overflow? That's their baseline of expertise and knowledge-seeking?

I'm old enough to remember "the old" complaining that junior devs can't code anymore because they just paste nonsense they copy from stack overflow.

How times have changed.

Flynn effect is reversing for this generation, so it doesn't seem to be the same, previously the next generation was always smarter, but now its dumber.
