To me this basically seems like boat programming made respectable.
Of course, if you asked me, it always was. You couldn't assume great connectivity then and you often still can't today.
- Spivak 4y agoMy favorite consultant I ever worked with was a boat programmer. You hired him for super specialized MySQL magics so he, well his company, charged a pretty substantial hourly rate and he apparently had enough revenue/leverage to get his company to foot the bill for two separate satellite internet connections on his boat. I feel like I would get lonely but it's definitely a vibe.
- pjmlp 4y agoTo me this is programming during the first 10 years where the "Internet" were local BBS, magazines spoke about Compuserve and Prodigy, and the connection rates where impossible, so we had to get by with what came on magazines and local library.
