What always amazes me is this could have been done back in the day if someone had had the vision and belief that it was possible. Understandable that they didn’t because it’s so far beyond the then current level of expectation.
So that makes me wonder what could be done with what we have now if we only had the vision and belief that it was possible? What will someone demo if 50 years on an “ancient” Windows 10 PC or iPad?
- grkvlt 8y agoI'm not 100% sure that's true - for example, today we have hugely improved development environments, IDEs, source control, collaboration tools, simulators, debuggers, documentation (particularly in terms of easily available and instant access to low level details and also searchability) and so on, which (probably?) make it easier to produce code, and perform tasks that would have been impossible or intractable back then...
- DougN7 8y agoYes, the environment definitely makes it easier and more feasible. Still, what if we have Star Trek-like transporter building blocks today but just can’t see it yet?
