WEX/Display builder/etc:
Even when I was there my young peers weren't too keen on legacy/back-end understanding. GUIs were the cool thing. I worked on something that touched many legacy subsystems so got to work with a lot of "dinosaurs" (what the Pirates called them).
MCC testing was all AM shift, pirates/youts up front, retired controllers in the back. Test MOC took 30 minutes to recycle. I always sat in back if they'd let me.
