I am curious what the young tech-minded generation does these days? Is it all on Hacker News and github? Doing JS and web programming? What are everyone's views on this?

Mostly on web & mobile programming I think. Like mentioned before, Ruby and Python are among the mature choices for doing web projects.
JS is pretty much one of the requirements for doing web programming, and thanks to Node.js, now it's possible to write the entire web app (back-end and front-end) mostly in JS. Crazy? Smile
Go, which is backed up by Google, now is also trending for doing web.
Github is awesome for collaborating, and if you are looking for a coding job, showing your github repo might gain you a favour.
And for mobile programming, well it's pretty much iOS & Android. Symbian is already dead. Blackberry and Windows Phone don't attract much users anymore. Ubuntu Touch, Tizen, Sailfish etc *could be* interesting in the future, but not much at this time.
C++ is probably limited to game development, while C/asm is for microcontroller/kernel development.

Do you agree with him? Is the above still valid in 2021? Had he summarize everything?
