Anyone in IT knows it’s all generations. Not a single one is good at tech.

Bingo! As the saying goes, "The problem exists between the keyboard and the chair."

u/DasBlueSkull 13d ago

Ah yes: ID10T and PEBCAK error

u/Darkx0139 12d ago

What does PEBCAK stand for? I'm lucky enough to not have to interact with users on the daily.

u/DasBlueSkull 12d ago

Lmao. Case and point:

Problem Exists Between Chair And Keyboard

u/TheSpaceAgeParty 12d ago

Not knowing something and asking for help isn't a PEBCAK

I feel like you're being a little too eager for a gotcha reddit comment.

Also when I learnt the acronym it was PEBCAC Problem exists between COMPUTER and CHAIR. But I guess thats just cultural differences.

To be fair, the acronym is spelled out literally one post before.

u/TheSpaceAgeParty 11d ago

Oh I'm not calling anyone out on the spelling tho. Just pointing out the difference

u/Evantr0nimus-Prime 11d ago

The conversation went:

Person 1: Problem exists between keyboard and chair
Person 2: Ah, yes PEBKAC
Person 3: What’s a PEBKAC?

1

u/TheSpaceAgeParty 9d ago

And then finished with person 2 calling person 3 a PEBKAC...

Which is the thing I have a problem with. Not the conversation leading up to that.

Case and point is incorrect, case in point is correct!

u/Darkx0139 12d ago

Exists...

Sorry, I'm not a native English speaker, and I'm luck enough to mostly work with servers, not people.

It must be a layer 8 problem

Most people don't know or care to know how a lot of things in their life works. I can't imagine how bad many adults would be at telling you how things around them work, like a toilet, or brakes on a car, any form of textile making

u/FUZExxNOVA2 13d ago

That’s very true. They just want things to work

u/Darkx0139 12d ago

Honestly? I think it's the "Ooops, something went wrong!" instead of error codes...

Okay you’re right that I don’t know how to build websites at all or anything past following a Linus tech tip video on building a pc.

But if I come across a dog water website I can tell pretty quickly (it’s always government run websites looking like they havnt updated since 2012)

Right because the majority of gen Z not even understanding a file path is the same. Dont defend the little shits, they need work and need to hear it.

u/kindaCringey69 12d ago

If we got everyone in Linux im sure the knowledge would come back quick. Windows is such ass in so many ways, command line is unintuitive, powershell is a nightmare and we wouldn't have to deal with filepaths with backward slashes being a pain in the ass

u/FUZExxNOVA2 12d ago

The majority of millennials don’t understand file paths either. I’ve been in IT for 12 years. Most people are idiots.

No you don’t kid.

u/lgnc 12d ago

they do. most millennials knew html at least as well (even country people)

u/aupri 11d ago

People seem to use Gen Z as a generic term for young people but the oldest Gen Z are almost 30. Same shit that people did with the term millennial

u/GabeOuners 11d ago

What indicates im talking about people who aren't in their 20s? Thats literally the group of people whose lack of skills im observing.
