The rise of the web? In the past 13 years? Gosh does that make me feel old...
- fragmede 3y agoShit, I learned to program before there was Google.
- xandrius 3y agoI studied OpenGL when all I could find was literally 1 tutorial on it and it was not in my native language.
- brabel 3y agoReminds of a random comment or tweet I read somewhere where the person said their young children just couldn't believe she was so old that she was born before Google existed :D they just couldn't believe her :D so cute.
- bluenose69 3y agoI imagine some of us reading this learned to program before bitnet was a thing. Punched cards. Paper tape. Booting by entering a lot of binary numbers with toggle switches. Good times. Oh, and that ancient Fortran code? It still works and, if you can see patterns in arithmetic-if blocks, it still expresses clever algorithms elegantly.
