screenshot, probably from Ex-Twitter but I saw it on NOSTR, showing a guy saying that training a zoomer to use a PC at work is as difficult as training a boomer, with a reply indicating that there is only one generation that can rotate a PDF and that knowledge dies with us

I work on a help desk. We hired multiple Zoomers and they literally don't understand how computers work. They don't know what the registry is. Or what POST means. Or how to properly back up a user's data without using automated software.

They're fucking dumb. Nice. But dumb.

To be fair, I'm a millenial who's fairly tech savvy and I barely know what POST means. Then again, I don't work in IT.

To be fair, POST could mean a number of things. Are we talking in a webserver context? BIOS context? The POST Office?

Why would someone on a help desk be expected to know what POST is? A software engineer, sure, but helpdesk? If it's needed knowledge…that's what training is for. Businesses' expectation that people will come into the job already knowing exactly how you do things and never require on-the-job training is absurd.

Guessing they’re talking about Power-On Self Test rather than the HTTP verb. I’m assuming you were thinking of the latter given you mentioned a software engineer.

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 1 points 2 months ago

I was thinking of the HTTP verb, you're right.

Half of software engineers don't know what a POST is either

Software engineer here, can confirm I've never received anything by post in my life, it's always couriers. My assumption is that post stamps are boomer NFTs.

Ah, but postage stamps are completely fungible.
