Much of your point seems debatable. I had a band director that was able to write a GUI app in 1992 on a 12MHz 80286 with a couple megabytes of memory. Put today's tooling in their hands and I don't think they'd be nearly as effective. Today's tools may be better by some definitions, but certainly not by all.
- asciiface 3y agoyeah I mean in highschool I was writing a bunch of VB6 in the computer lab study halls. I wrote a LAN chat program for the lab, a file encryption/decryption that used blowfish, I even wrote a basic UI-based RPG game for the lab. building a UI now with modern tools makes me lose sleep
