My IT experience as Gen-X.
Boomers: Look to me because somehow they have avoided learning anything IT related in the last thirty+ years.
Millennials: Look to me because I have more experience and a wider breadth of knowledge. Thumbs up for Millenials.
Gen-Z: About as confused as Boomers but excusable since they just started. Surprising lack of basics in some. Those that do know enough, have less knowledge and experience than Millenials and way way less than us gray beards. So they rarely get to solve problems, thus they rarely get to grow and learn.
Zoomers are the full on ADD version of people. All they grew up on was a tablet or phone that "just works" and they get their answers from a Google search or 1 minute video. Many of them simply don't want to learn beyond the bare minimum they can get away with and just want the instant gratification or the answer. They don't care about understanding why it's the answer.
Wide exceptions to every generation, of course.
In my experience as a millennial not in IT it's
Boomers: know nothing or are wildly skilled in either everything or just what's necessary to do their job, very little middle ground
Gen X: most have basic competence, wide range of skills including none at all
Millennials: higher floor, only the genuine idiots don't know how to use a computer, wide range of skills, but the people who only know the basics seem to know less than equivalent xers
Gen Z: never met one
The number of fresh out of school software engineers who still hunt-and-peck type is absolutely mind-boggling to me
I was in a similar situation, till about eight years ago. So, what happens as more and more of us Gen-Xs retire?
Is AI going to fill the gap? I sincerely doubt it.
My hope is that Millenials will have everything well at hand and Gen-Z will have more opportunities to grow as we leave the space.
