What is something about how people view or use technology that needs to die? - Lemmy.World

My favorite is when someone tells me that they are too old to learn about new technology, or that they can’t use a device because they aren’t very tech-y. No, you just refuse to learn.

A lot of tech evolves and changes quickly, and a whole lot of people just dont like change, especially as they get older. It is also harder to learn new things as you get older. While it doesn’t apply across the board, the “can’t teach an old dog” addage generally holds true. This is not something that will go away. If you dont want to become that person, continue to exercise your brain as you age, and learning new tricks will be easier.

As someone in the “older” crowd, I can learn just about anything, I’m just sick and fucking tired of lazy ass devs who can’t be bothered to write proper fucking docs.

Note: I’ve been writing docs for going on 40 years as part of my job. It’s fucking tedious to do it well, to verify what you wrote actually works.

No, it’s not that it’s harder to learn (it may be) it’s that I have other shit to do too, and some dumbass has made using whatever tool way fucking more obtuse than it needs to be and hasn’t bothered to even explain their approach, their paradigm, in the all but non-existent docs.
