Quick comment on how managers should listen to younger “kids” in IT, i think that coming from this “kid” background, i know about the problems faced.
Young talented people generally get walked over and anything that they place comments on or propose or do generally gets scrutinised, just because of the “young factor”, these ideas are stamped out and the opinion of somebody who has “ten years experience” is bought in. these ten years experienced people need to take a step down and be open andrealise that the younger generation have far more potential of doing things, please let them freeee! and stop being so negative.
