    How much disdain I have for change (“they are just making it worse!”) aka grumpy old man syndrome

      If it was around before you were born, it’s perfectly natural.

      If it was invented when you were younger than 10, it’s new, cool, and exciting.

      Invented between ages 10 and 25? Innovative.

      Between 25 and 40? Silly to replace something that was working fine.

      Over 40? The work of the Devil!!

      Honestly, this one sometimes surprises me too.

      Like, I’m okay with it… I’ve accepted being the grumpy old man but it still surprises me how often it feels like my default state the older I get.
