I used to work at Curb years and years ago (and its predecessor TaxiMagic). It's always fun to still hear someone uses it and makes me wonder if any code I wrote could still be running somewhere for it.
- cptskippy 5y agoMore than likely yes. My first programming job was at an insurance broker where 15-20 years ago I wrote a maybe 20 line VB exe to transfer a file to our systems that was invoked by a comparative rater. It was still out there being distributed to client PCs for over a decade.
- fibonachos 5y agoThose old VB apps really had staying power. I built one that was in use fro 2000 until the owner of the business passed away in 2017. If he were still alive I’m sure that app would be running today.
- cptskippy 5y agoWe have a VB Desktop App still being used at my current job. It works, we technically support it but have never had to do any support and would struggle to setup the tool chain. It's at least 15 years old and just keeps plugging alone. The author retired last year.
