> Sometimes I feel like they were just more impressive programmers back then. I feel that way often. I definitely stand on the shoulders of giants to do my silly web app job. But then again no one has ever hired me to do anything wild like fitting a game into 8mb on a hardware cartridge. I've never been in a group of other smart people trying to accomplish it, or mentored towards accomplishing something like that. Maybe I could if I had to. I have the education for it, in theory. I often wonder what line of work I would be in if I hadn't grown up with computers though. Would I have still tried to go into it as a profession because I'm good at math? Or would I be off working as an electrician or something else.
