Eater has a longer article on how sourdough, and bread in general, is back in fashion and the changes being inflicted on the millenias-old staple by tech bros.
“I spent a lot of time — I don’t want to say ‘debugging,’ because that sounds really technical — but just working on recipes and trying to teach myself and there really weren’t a lot of materials out there at the time to do that,” he told me by phone this spring. “With bread baking, you kind of follow an algorithm to produce a result and that result isn’t always what you think it’s going to be, so you kind of have to step back and debug and diagnose the steps along the way. How did I go wrong here? That’s because technically the temperature might not be right or the dough strength might not be right. That iterative procedure and working through those algorithms kind of appeals to engineer. There’s the precision part of it, but also, when it comes down to it, technical people like to work with their hands. You want to construct something and I think bread is a good way to do that.”

Contrary to popular belief everyone from the "millenial" generation works quite hard and knows way more about "real life" than any boomer who grew up with a comparatively small world view and a pretty easy economy to function in.
Thank god for millenials who overall pay better attention to science and are not only demanding of a better world but also are working to make it happen.
Crusty old warmongers round here are out of date.

From your comment, the Millennial generation should be renamed the Dunning Kruger generation!

You go on believing that if it makes you feel better, baby bro.
I'll give your the point that SOME people from the millenial generation work quite hard. I've met some that I admire, because they remind me of me. But there are a fair number of bums and deadbeats in that generation, as well. I suspect that either you've been "triggered", and feel the need to run at the mouth in self defense - or - possibly - maybe - you're just that stupid. It's your call, dude.

LMAO, that trigger was intentionally put in there, with malicious aforethought, just like setting us up the roadside bomb. :^)

So you are saying this generation is the same as all the other ones before it? Shocking. Keep it real runaway.

The point isnt to work hard though. It is to make doing things easier and cheaper.

Not paying better enough attention to be able to spell "millennial", even though it's spelled correctly in the message header you're replying to.

Heh, when someone bothers to pick on spelling errors you know you hit a nerve.
