Had a flash back to the time I glued together plastic model airplane kits.
WW1, WW2, Korean War. British, American, Japanese, German, ....
I had a regular summer job and saved up to buy them one at a time. My friends did similarly.
We would hang them with thin string or threads for the ceiling in such a way as they looked like they were in combat. Is this still a hobby these days? My kids did for a while.

I used to have the same hobby, too many moons ago. I know that you can still buy them, so I assume that people are still building them.

quite expensive - tailored to us old farts.
hmm, retirement plan - buy and stock... kidding.
I remember having undeclared painting contests with my Dad. I would watch how he did this and that. He was insane but not totally so - he had friends in R/C aircraft, he did you control. But I remember many nights when I was 10-15 - he'd be painting his planes with "dope" - look it up - in a small room with an open cigarrete. How we did not blow up... slower times.

Plastic models? you have to be kidding... wusses?
In the "real" good old days, there were the joys of cutting out balsa wood parts with an xacto knife. Had to keep the band-aids handy. Never got very good at the paper skin and Dope part.

Serious question. I get the "general" nature of development things, but most of the stuff I've seen in the last few years - meh. It's all fluff.
Looking at my solid oak bookcase, I have about 40 books of various types on the shelves. In general, I have found the bookcase, my desk (lawyer sized solid oak), and credenza to be horizontal collection devices (think about that). About 1/3 of the books are cooking books - yes I'm getting tired of the tech, I'm seriously done with the tech BS. You youngsters are so screwed.
Going to donate them to the local high school...
Meanwhile, I'm just amazed at how us techies have moved on. I have not seen decent documentation since my openVMS days - and I KNEW where to find stuff in the large gray wall. Further, it was actually useful. Unlike the reprocessed garbage from MS. The last good book I read about MS was pure code related, but the name escapes me.
Pretty sure MS has an idiot AI generating "technical" doc for their products.

IMHO, as experience builds up, we ourselves become the "tech books" for juniors. They don't need to refer to manuals anymore.
For everything else, there's Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo.

Yes. Yes I do. In fact, I just bought several books on x86 Assembler, AAarch64 Assembler, Rust, and Python. I prefer having paper in front of me as well as online resources.
I also have kept all of my EE books (I specialized in communications systems in the microwave region) and my original notes from college (converted to searchable PDF) which have been more valuable in a lot of cases than online documentation.
That's just me though, I'm pretty old school paper and pencil when it comes to engineering stuff. I learn better that way.

Books are for old people.
I used books at the start of my career, about fifteen years ago.
But now I rarely need to know 400 pages of information, so I just google for the particular thing I want to know, or ask ChatGPT.
Much easier than searching through books, which probably don't have that specific answer anyway.
If there's something new I must learn, online tutorials have gotten much better too.

I prefer textbooks to be dead tree. I find that learning a new subject from them is much easier than doing the same online. OTOH, when I just want to look up something I use the Internet, like everyone else.
