And now the kids don’t know what a file path is anymore. Legit my wife is a professor, and she gets adeer in the headlight look when she is helping students debug code and she mentions a file path not being right in there code.
… Who grew up in a world where computer internals were abstracted away so you never needed to know what a file was or even that they exist. I wouldn’t know what a file was either if I didn’t grow up in exactly the right time frame and have a dad who hoarded DOS PCs.

Serious response, no joke… what’s a file path?
These are sophomores and Juniors in college.

Oh no, I get why they don’t know what one is. It just makes teaching coding to them very difficult.
I lucked out having a dad who’s into computers so I had the chance to tinker with his old stuff since I was a little bwoah.
Yikes. Blame iPhone (and Android) hiding file structure in most every app
