Flowers are vegetables?

If either the bride or groom is below the age of consent they cantaloupe. How they'll marry beet's me.
If you crossed you dog with a tree it would still have bark.

You would get a melon collie baby.

And if one were to cross a dog with one's brother, one would get a broccoli, would one not?

I reckon that a very significant percentage of what I have learnt in my life is now dead knowledge - i.e. it will never be needed in my life again.
Old programming languages, command line parameters for no longer extant applications, the maze layouts of games I no longer have, libraries and patterns that have been consigned to history.
Thank goodness my memory has a Guinness powered garbage collection function

I totally disagree on your point of view. Developing software isnt not only the knowledge about some program language and some platform, but also the experience to discuss and work with co-workers and costumers, and professional skills like using the "best practice" like a healthy working discipline, responsibility awareness, writing clean code and a sound software architecture.
As I are becoming 50 and working with some junior developers (25+) I see that my experiences are often more helpful and precious than their "brand new knowledge" but doing beginner errors.
(which I done some 20 years ago).

For the last 100 years we drive our economy with dead dinosaur knowledge aka oil. Nothing wrong with knowledge that you never will use again. What is much more valuable is the experience you gained, and that is never dead.

I share some of his point of view: back in '96, I was developing a C application utilizing Presentation Manager on OS/2. I'm sure something I learned back then has influenced the rest of my life in positive ways, but most of it is just scrap!

Learning what is scrap is valuable learning.

If you make an error at least learn to avoid it in the future (as you say below)
Sometimes to learn how NOT to do something is easier and stays longer in your mind than learning it the right way.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

It may be dead, but it is the foundation of all the living... If you remove it to hastily all the building may collapse...

Just unwrap those fancy UIs and IDEs. All of this may well be lurking around underneath.

True that you will not need most of that knowledge but as we gain more knowledge, even if it is "useless" knowledge, we grow in our ability to reason and to see things differently and can become more wise. However, for some people, the more they learn the more narrow-minded they become. I find that very strange and fascinating at the same time.
Useless or not, it is always a good thing to keep on learning.

I don't remember who told it but...
a specialist is someone who everyday learns more about less, until one day he knows everything about nothing.
