I get the feeling that computer literacy is decreasing.

We are getting a lot more "screen" users, the majority of whom are doomscrolling or swipe left/swipe right zombies. People that need everything dumbed down for them and just consume, consume, consume.

This is dangerous for our society as a whole.

A world where you grow up surrounded by digital devices but are only mindlessly fed content through them is a dystopia.

We need more tinkerers. We need more curiosity. We need more hackers.

Amen to that. I see so many young people heading off to uni to study computer science. None of them have ever written a program outside of their high school class in their lives. They all want to be game programmers. They have no idea what’s required to be a game dev. They graduate. They drift.

I rant regularly about the crappy “web3” apps people build. Maybe learn a few lessons from web 1 and 2 before you overreach. It’s like the last 30 years never happened. 🙄

On the flip side, I'm kind of stunned how patchwork the knowledge of a web3 developer (a set of which I am not really an element) can get because self-taught curriculum can skip over the 'useless' theory. Who needs to know the discrete logarithm problem when you can ape into zk circuits? Bad? Good? I dunno!
