I was pretty excited about it too... And I was a kid in the 90s. I once worked with a guy who got excited about new releases of directx... Which I also admit could be a little exciting
- sumtechguy 5y agoIts funny I used to get excited about new API stacks coming out. They enabled such amazing things. Now I look at them as this thing we drag around, (hope you know the latest ones to get a job, and spend 4 months figuring it out). I look at them as this thing that will be quickly abandoned in 4 years and something I will end up supporting once the cool kids have wandered off to something new.
- ergot_vacation 5y agoInnovation is exciting. Serious, exciting innovation in most of the computing world has ground to a near halt for over a decade now. Most things, hardware, software, web etc are just iterative, and often a step backward. Nothing to be excited about anymore. In the 90s, not getting an expensive new PC every 2 years or so meant you were screwed if you wanted to play any of the cool new games coming out. I haven't upgraded my system in over 5 years, and I can still play most new titles with a few minor graphic settings turned down or off.
