Reminds me of my mom. She was _super_ into the internet between 1995 - 2000. It's weird to think about now, but she was in IRC channels all day. She was really into the early pirate music scene. She even started dabbling in web development. Eventually, she just lost interest when life got to busy and over time she become less and less technical. Which I think is a shame, that would of been so cool if she became a developer.

Some times it blows my mind that my grandmother was a software developer. Humans have been doing this stuff for a long time.

  No offense, but 50-100 years for a profession is absolutely nothing. Engineering fields have been around for hundreds of years. There’s even arcane shit in the Bible about punishment for engineers of houses they approve collapse on people.

    Similarly, going back another couple of thousand years: Code of Hammurabi (c. 1700 B.C.E.) 228. If a builder build a house for a man and complete it, (that man) shall give him two shekels of silver per SAR of house as his wage. 229. If a builder build a house for a man and do not make its construction firm, and the house which he has built collapse and cause the death of the owner of the house, that builder shall be put to death. 230. If it cause the death of a son of the owner of the house, they shall put to death a son of that builder. 231. If it cause the death of a slave of the owner of the house, he shall give the owner of the house a slave of equal value. 232. If it destroy property, he shall restore whatever it destroyed, and because he did not make the house which he built firm and it collapsed, he shall rebuild the house which collapsed from his own property (i.e., at his own expense). 233. If a builder build a house for a man and do not make its construction meet the requirements and a wall fall in, that builder shall strengthen that wall at his own expense. https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Code_of_Hammurabi_(Harper_translation) https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Code_of_Hammurabi_(Harper... https://fs.blog/2017/11/hammurabis-code/ https://fs.blog/2017/11/hammurabis-code/

I know this isn’t Reddit and I’m probably going to get downvoted for pointing this out, but it’s ‘would have’ - it only gets mixed up with ‘would of’ because we often use the contraction ‘would’ve’ in speech.
