by Recently I posed a question on IRC that sparked an interesting conversation:
"For those of you that have been around the industry for awhile, what is the biggest difference you see between the people you came up with and the newest generation of sys admins?"
To further expand on this and open the discussion to others, I'd further elaborate on that question to ask:
- How long have you been in this industry?
- How did you end up in IT?
- What differences have you noticed between the younger/older generations of sys admins vs. your own?
So, let's hear it…what have YOU noticed? What do you feel is getting better about our industry's professionals? Worse? What can be done to make things even better for future generations?
