The more I see of Gen Z the more I feel secure in my IT job. There's no new generation of home grown tech nerds coming to push us out. Half of these guys think hacking is hitting view-source on a webpage or (hushed whispers) finding the developer tools menu...
Same with millennials, gen x, boomers... The prospect that a generation who grew up using technology would have an inherent understanding of how it works has proven empty.
Of all of them my experience is that younger gen x / older millennial are the most hands-on technically literate. Grew up in 80s 90s as home computers became main stream but required a good deal of tinkering. They currently form the body of 40-50 year old electrical engineers, senior devs and consultants. Not really in game development (where crazy hours are a young man's game), rather IT and business as a whole.

They're not a script kiddie for just wanting a binary. Wtf is this gatekeeping?
The accusations comes from them wanting to use a small tool for specific nefarious purpose (tracking people across social media). That's what "script kiddie" generally means: younger people lacking technical expertise seeking to use the "hacking" tools that others have made.
Dumb people trying other people look dumber.. it's a classic..
I think you a word somewhere.
Okay but I hate released projects that force you to compile it into your target platform if it's something simple like a file converter or a save file editor and the process involves lots of work.
So someone builds something and offers it to you for free and you hate them because they didn't offer it to you in the way you want it.
Yes
People misunderstand the target audience of GitHub—which is specifically not the general public, but yes, developers. If you don't want to be treated as a developer, don't use a platform designed for developers. And I'm saying this as someone who's having a horrible time learning hot git and GitHub works. (Not because it's bad, I'm just a slow learner lol)
Git design is a little bit bad, mostly just in the UI that is unintuitive and sometimes needlessly complex. Its why things like JJ and Mercurial are still being made.
You take it back or grand exhalted emperor of Open Source Linus (may his personal Linux Kernel repo live forever) will be angry.
Even things that have compiled binaries, it's not so easy to find the page with the actual download button sometimes on GitHub.
i don't get this, just go to the releases page? like 2-3 clicks and you have a series of links to "theprogram.exe" "theprogram.sh" "theprogram.zip"
or are you just talking about shit like libraries? because yeah that's.. not how you install libraries..

How is "lol if you're using a developer resource expect to need to follow basic technical instruction" boomer energy?
It's not. I'm talking about the sense of entitlement of the person requesting the executable.
Ah understood
