A seasoned pro from the golden age of drafting tables and floppy disks.
The Boomer Engineer is a master of analog solutions navigating a digital world.
Often seen squinting at a touchscreen or asking, "So... what is the cloud, exactly?".
They bring decades of experience—and a healthy dose of skepticism—to every tech update.
May require a millennial translator for anything involving AI, apps, or acronyms longer than three letters.

We spent half the meeting explaining how the new IoT sensors work because our Boomer Engineer thought "the cloud" was just a fancy term for offsite storage.

An engineer that uses very old, cumbersome technology as they stopped to innovate. Often comes with age and losing touch with users. The result is a painful development experience that is unattractive to new engineers, slow moving project, nasty incidents and vulnerabilities…

This is an often small refrigerator, on campus, typically located in a semi-dorm, open-dorm or pressure-turbine-energy system lab where college students working together or individually on projects and just chilling keep their nice lunches, drinks, snacks and confectionaries. It's pretty common for them to just leave them there for the next person. Sometimes they do it as a nice gesture or gift. Typically, if something's been in there for atleast 3 to 4 days and no one has picked it up, it's yours. Mainly, though, I'd like to introduce the college tradition. If someone leaves something there and doesn't really come back to get it, it belongs to the next hardworking engineer who comes across it on their spare in or out of class time.
Lay student: You look like you're up to a lot.
Hardworking expert engineer (college guy chilling and exploring after getting shit done): Yeah. It's been pretty hectic, especially inside that Energy Systems Lab. I'd better give that Engineer's Refrigerator a peep.
