The more I see of Gen Z the more I feel secure in my IT job. There’s no new generation of home grown tech nerds coming to push us out. Half of these guys think hacking is hitting view-source on a webpage or (hushed whispers) finding the developer tools menu…
Same with millennials, gen x, boomers… The prospect that a generation who grew up using technology would have an inherent understanding of how it works has proven empty.
Of all of them my experience is that younger gen x / older millennial are the most hands-on technically literate. Grew up in 80s 90s as home computers became main stream but required a good deal of tinkering. They currently form the body of 40-50 year old electrical engineers, senior devs and consultants. Not really in game development (where crazy hours are a young man’s game), rather IT and business as a whole.

They’re not a script kiddie for just wanting a binary. Wtf is this gatekeeping?
The accusations comes from them wanting to use a small tool for specific nefarious purpose (tracking people across social media). That’s what “script kiddie” generally means: younger people lacking technical expertise seeking to use the “hacking” tools that others have made.
Dumb people trying other people look dumber… it’s a classic…
Okay but I hate released projects that force you to compile it into your target platform if it’s something simple like a file converter or a save file editor and the process involves lots of work.
So someone builds something and offers it to you for free and you hate them because they didn’t offer it to you in the way you want it.
