It makes me sad when I notice that all of the specialists on certain topics are even older than me :( A lot of us learned on the job when the internet was less critical infrastructure and mistakes were part of the learning process. These days a lot of experience is getting lost, and the industry hasn’t found a way to transfer that knowledge to new generations.
