I recently sat down at an old computer (2006 iMac) that I had given to the kids for watching DVDs. I realised it still had Xcode installed. So I opened it and started a new project. And I really enjoyed it! Something about coding on this oldish Mac makes me happy. I'm not sure why. In theory it's worse in pretty much every way. Many websites have stopped working on the no longer supported copy of Firefox. Maybe it's because the old machine reminds me of the time when programming was still new to me. Some of my earliest attempts at GUI apps are still on that Mac. Now I see the same tools, but know so much more things I can do with them. I'm not sure what my point is. I kinda lost interest in new tech as well, but somehow playing with an old computer made me excited about programming again.
