@darius @maya one thing often left out of conversations around technical pedagogy (and the "this generation is worse" stigma it brings), is that tons of UI relies on old irrelevant analogy,

The file/folder setup (while conveniently a Tree), was taught as a skeuomorphic analogy to literal folders in a file cabinet. Desktops and windows are a skeuomorphic analogy to moving papers around a desk.

We use less paper now. These analogies don't hold anymore, and we punish new learners for it.
