I started working as a VB dev in 1993 while studying for a cs degree. I can’t really remember any specific thoughts about the future tech, we were too busy literally inventing it. All I remember is this amazement at how most people still don’t realize computers would completely tranform the entire society, how easily solvable many problems are with some simple code. But also reading the Sprawl Trilogy (which has materialized in an uncanny fashion) and understanding the dangers. Our entire society (Estonia) was transforming and people generally were very hopeful for the future while working hard to get there.
