True, but can you even imagine being a software dev in 1970? Where TDD, unit testing, or testing even in general isn't even a thing thought of? It just seems so

True, but can you even imagine being a software dev in 1970? Where TDD, unit testing, or testing even in general isn't even a thing thought of? It just seems so foreign.
Even now, someone in college and spend all of their free time reading blogs and books for best practice development and can generally fit in pretty good with any development group once graduated. I don't think people had those luxuries in the 70's.
