    These are sophomores and Juniors in college.

    … Who grew up in a world where computer internals were abstracted away so you never needed to know what a file was or even that they exist. I wouldn’t know what a file was either if I didn’t grow up in exactly the right time frame and have a dad who hoarded DOS PCs.

      Oh no, I get why they don’t know what one is. It just makes teaching coding to them very difficult.

      I lucked out having a dad who’s into computers so I had the chance to tinker with his old stuff since I was a little bwoah.
