That really does capture it in a way I haven't thought about in while. Reading DDJ wasn't just about programming (much of it I honestly only, at best, barely understood) , it was also discovering the existence of this cool exotic culture 'out there' of smart people who sounded and acted nothing like anything I'd seen or heard before, and that I desperately wanted to be part of.
- wormius 3y agoI was really young and only knew Pascal from School so all this was far beyond my league. I'd love to go back and see what sort of info I can glean now that I know a lot more. Maybe some of it makes sense now! I never bought any because it was far beyond where I was at, at the time. Of course the tech changes, but at least I was alive for some of it so it won't be as foreign as it would be to a young millenial/gen z person.
