52 here, been a full time people manager for about a decade now. Coding manually makes me tired just thinking about it. When I think about embark on a new project my mind goes back to all the times I worked 12 hour days trying to get some basic system to function.

I suspect this person hasn't really tried the most recent generation, it is quite impressive and works very well if you do know what you are doing
