I'm younger than both of you, and I wrote 370 assembler on punched cards. It's a function of what your school had available to deal with the crush of students piling into CS.
First computer was an HP3000 timeshare with the teletype and acoustic coupled 300 bps screamer. Followed shortly by the TRS80 Model I, then manna from heaven, the Atari 800.
On the HP a program that could print an arbitrary NxM maze was mesmerizing. On the TRS80, Hammurabi was addictive. You had to type in the code by hand from the spiral bound book, and the cassette drive never saved it properly, so I was always typing it in. Along the way, all that BASIC started making sense...
not necessarily. if you have a tremendous sunk cost you're trying to amortize, you'll do everything you can to wring every last penny out of it right now. it's likely more cost-efficient than embarking on a new enterprise you know little about and where you'll be dead before you see your return.

"Most board members of major corporations usually are recruited for some expertise they bring to the board"
No. There are there because of connections (i.e. they are "liked"). If your E suite is relying on the board for "expertise", you're doing it wrong. In most cases, these boards meet once a year for a few hours. Just how much expertise are you getting from that? You just want their phone number so you can call them and say, "Hey, I need you to talk to your friend about this..."
Oh, I guess there is always the "Compensation Committee". A little light research will show you just the kind of expertise they have.
ACTUALLY, it was the Republicans in Congress who successfully blocked the nomination of Anthony Lake leaving Clinton with the option of having the CIA with only an acting director (Tenet) while getting jerked around by Congress or just advancing Tenet to the position (who was unanimously approved by Congress).

by your reasoning, OTA would never exist.

It's not magic, it's science.

"At some point, people have so much experience that they stop thinking and just start remembering the correct way to do things."
" we have older techs that we deal with all the time."
I've found inflexibility to be a personality trait uncorrelated with age.
you'll see your mistake when you're 50

A prevalence of a censorship means you get buried under mountains of spam.
actually, it was a police action.
good thing we don't have any of those now...
it's not happening.
if it is happening, it's a good thing.
ok, it's happening, but it's not man-made.
ok, it's not good, but it's still not man-made.
jesus would fix it if we had prayer in school.

yes, the red states don't bother with the visas at all...
you'll need a CAT5 cable for that, though...
no, just tell them by saying "hello" they accept your EULA...
And I'm sure if you ever actually flew with one our your senior execs, you'd be mystified why you can't find them in the coach section...
