To be fair, we used to die at 40. Now you can get a CS degree at 21 or 22, and you still "have no idea what are you doing". Maybe it's just that technology is really complicated, the world is really complicated, and everything is changing fast.

I don't mean it to be conformist, but it's easy to forget some things are actually hard when you are very clever or old enough to forget how it was like when you were still learning too.

But at the same time it's easier than ever to find information on nearly everything. Asking experts also is easier than ever before. I don't think it's feasible to dismiss GP's claim with yours.

Sorry if it came across like that. Not trying to dismiss his claim, just trying to give a wider perspective. Similarly, in the same way you are right saying it's easier to find information on nearly everything nowadays, it might also be relevant to remember that we still have limited time and attention spans.
