Now, to be fair, I'm talking about carefully writing code with the knowledge of the previous 20 years, which is a little bit like "cheating", whatever that concept means here.
I use ASCII/textfiles, HTTP, CGI, SSI, access.log, Perl, Bash, and small subsets of PHP, HTML, JS, CSS, and almost no third-party libraries. Certainly no JQuery or anything similar.
I'm not hardcore enough for C or C++, but I know that a program written 20 years ago in these languages would most likely compile today.
- aahortwwy 5y ago> a program written 20 years ago in these languages would most likely compile today Not without continuous attention over those 20 years. I'm currently struggling to get a C program last touched 10 years ago to compile.
- forgotmypw17 5y agoLike I said, I'm cheating a little bit, and using the knowledge I have today to "retro-edit" this hypothetical 20-year-old program.
