I'm 57 and a working developer. In school,
It was a beautiful feeling if your card deck compiled, ran, didn't run out of CPU time, and produced the correct print out, the very first time.
- kjs3 10y agoIt was. But then (in my world) they replaced punched cards with Ada, which wouldn't compile anything until everything was correct. Those rare times when you actually thought long and hard enough to get everything right the first time or two...priceless. This was not a bad thing.
- shitgoose 10y agonever happened to me:) most of the time i used to receive my deck wrapped in thin printout with some compilation error.
