alt Hacker NewsAge has an effect, no matter if it's software or electronics. These types learned their trade once, some decades ago, and keep driving like that.
If you want old dogs to learn new tricks, teach them. No company has the money to spend nor the inclination to even suggest education to their workers. Companies usually consider that a waste of time and money. I don't know why. Probably because "investing" in your work force is considered stupid because they'll fire you the moment a quarterly earnings call looks less than stellar.

That's not really how our industry works - or even how it should work IMO.
If old dogs want to keep their jobs they should teach themselves new tricks.

These guys are epitome of arrogance. I have been doing this for N years, you have nothing to teach me! Then the same guy will be staring for several hours straight on a prototype board which is hard shorted because he accidentally created a junction in his schematic. ERC (electrical rules checker) would catch it, if guy would bother to run it...
