I’m just 40, I started programming in 87, got serious around 93, I remember getting my hands on a copy of turbo pascal from a family friend - not expensive but was for a kid and it was amazing. Now I grumble if it’s a pain to install a massive open source tool chain for free and these days it’s rarely painful. I should stop and appreciate that more once in a while.
