@llorenzin i keep complaining about the loss of the pipeline, but i'm just some greybeard who's probably long overdue for the firing squad.
the worst part is i meet young people every day who have the same excitement and zeal that i enjoyed at the beginning of my programming days. they are curious and inquisitive about the world of computers, and the best leadership has for them is becoming prompt engineers and review farmers.

@elmiko@fosstodon.org that's absolutely the most painful part for me - I'm at the point where I want to reach down and give a hand up, and the ladder just fucking evaporated. Honestly, I'm to the point of telling young people excited about coding to go learn a trade that will pay their bills, and find an open source project to be passionate about in their free time...
