    Ha. That’s our work. As the old guy I have run the same CAD software longer than my coworker has been alive.

      I recently had to explain the internet discourse surrounding the release of KOTOR 2 to a group of coworkers who weren’t yet alive when it came out.

        You can go to a coffee shop and say good morning to a bunch of people for the same effect and connection

          Not sure
          Facing the same shit and supervisors gives a special kind of connection

          I don’t miss office time, but I miss the coffee/smoke breaks with some colleagues

        Unigraphics it’s been around since early 70s, and now rebranded as NX. Started on Unix, until Windows NT supported it via x11 emulation.

    I’m over twice as old as one of my coworkers, and I feel like the universe put him there to punish me for being just as much of a little shit when I was his age.

    Can you imagine the pre-child-labor laws days? You are like 55 and there is a bunch of 4 year old coworkers.

    I have that at work. Some will talk about how they dealt with the liberalisation of the telecom market in Switzerland, and I’m sitting there thinking “I was in kindergarten at the time”. One who retired two years ago was at the company starting from the year before I was born.

    Edit: And I’m not even represented by Daniel Radcliffe in the picture lol. 1.5 years ago a zoomer joined us, and it’s also been fun to not be the youngest.
