Having been on long term sick leave for 15 years means you have to do something with your time and I spend a lot of it learning new things to various depths.
I now understand why some (though not all) older people are angry: when you know a lot about a lot you see how bad many things are. There’s so much inefficiency, shit design, shit quality, shit shit everywhere. It hard to not let it get to you.
It’s the burden of knowledge
