I run into that everywhere. Even in software. The abstraction levels are making it to where the “kids” with 10 years of experience have no idea what makes, for example, one database different from another. This leads to grossly ignorant decisions that end up costing a lot later.

I’m finding it challenging as an old fuck with lots of experience trying to guide them toward the curiosity needed to be better.

But the fiat mindedness - that’s hard to break.

Reality will kick in soon enough.
