My wife and I started talking about this after she had to help an old lady at the DMV figure out how to use her iPhone to scan a QR code. We're in our early 40s.

Same, they keep on adding new features and I don't have the time / interest / small enough world to get me to keep up with every little change. When I was a kid at home, I basically just had school and then a desktop to mess with. Now, my partner shows me new stuff on my iPhone all the time (shortcuts and whatnot) and it's great... but I just need something that works and isn't leaking data I wouldn't expect.

I used my work account to make an account for Postman the other day and they added like, public profiles to Postman. Like what? Who asked for that?

Yep, I'm totally with you there. I always think that if young me had the resources I have now, I'd be doing amazing shit, but then I realise I'd probably just be scrolling social media like I do now. Growing up without Internet I feel was better, you had to actively keep yourself busy. I got into IT because I was lonely and had a lot of time on my hands.
