    No, really, it was corporate social media, and also the smartphone (iphone particularly). They don’t need to know anything anymore thanks to those two. I mean even MySpace had kids learning CSS at least.

      One of my first exposures to technology was an iPod touch, and I went on to become a software engineer. Maybe it was the time? Perhaps I’ve just become older and grumpier, but technology once felt inviting to me now feels oversaturated and unnecessary. Like do we really need ChatGPT? Does it really make things better or just solve other problems that technology created?

      Good, I’m glad nobody is learning these things anymore. I couldn’t care less if someone doesn’t learn HTML and CSS.
