    Agreed. I write slow and incomprehensible. I read slow with shit comprehension. Passed engineering school with very high GPA and am successful in my engineering career. These metrics are bullshit boomer click bait.

    Almost as bad as “Gen z/a can’t read analog clocks!”

      I think the panic around analog clocks comes from the scenario where you have to explain what clockwise and counterclockwise is. I have personally seen someone eventually removed from a workgroup because they couldn’t understand it.

      Not that analog clocks matter, but that was an easy way to teach direction in cylindrical coordinates. What can we use now for that?
