This entire post is peak boomer-meme. It's a rant because "new is bad." Heaven forbid they just stick with what they like and let everyone else churn. Their loves in native and PHP aren't going anywhere. Weird to see a "didn't have my coffee" moment make the front page.

Fair. Just realize that it'll happen to you (in 15 years you'll be raging, "goddammit, why does every UI require a 2 GB Roblox runtime") and go easy on the poor boomers. Circle of life.

Oh I'm already there. I'm 43 and have seen the "everything old is new again" cycle at least twice already. I'm just old school and don't need to air all of my gripes - I just let the youngs make mistakes we've already learned from.
