Older Millenial here. It was definitely GenX that paved the way for the computer world I learned, and it was mostly GenX who wrote the books and taught the lessons (often informal) that brought us what knowledge we have, at least in the beginning. Plus a small selection of exceptional individuals from older generations, including, dare I say it,… the baby boomers.

There is a big difference between having the people who invented something and being the people who families (and companies...) depend on to keep them running. This being about the latter.

Or, at least, in my family, we tended to not tell the engineers at Ampex to get their butts downstairs because dad didn't understand why the color was off on the football game he recorded last night

Older millennial here, too. This is absolutely correct. (Btw we are called xenials 1981–86)
