I've noticed a lot of older software engineers seem to avoid anything "smart", and quite a few of them are into vintage cars too. I don't think that's coincidental; my daily driver is approaching 50, and completely lacks any computer or electronics for its main purpose.

I dunno if that means anything. Some of my software engineer friends have Tesla cars and love that kinda stuff. Others have old cars with very little in the way of electronics. Some have both!

Gotta remember, that every day people entrust their lives to lots of software and electronic systems. Of course, it's important to have reasonable security measure taken, but just because something's electronic doesn't make that a bad thing.
