All I hear about is “boomers” this, “Millennials” that, “Gen Z” that, etc.

Why no one talk about Gen X? What happened to them? They just vanished like in Infinity War? Or are we mistaken Gen Z by Boomers?

    Some of the genx built it, but the rest of them were too old (too busy) to learn it. The kids learned it.

    X86 was not built by genx if you want to get pedantic.

      I was talking about the dot-com technology of 30 years ago, not the 8-bit microchip technology of ~50 years ago.

        Web “1” and web2.0 was awful. Kids of that time had to troubleshoot it on their own.
