Similarities and differences - for senior (age/experience) devs

Hello Fellow developers,

I have been trying to wrap my head around How difficult would it have been to be a dev 20-30 years ago?

I have a few questions aimed for people two generations (30ish years) above me , say in their 50s and still coding (hobby or profession).

  1. What were pain points to becoming a dev when you were 20? Most painful two.

  2. What are disadvantages that present generation (kids in 20s ) faces compared to 20 years ago?

Any anecdotes or examples are preferred for better understanding as it allows “me in your shoes” :stuck_out_tongue:
