In ignoring this subthread because you introduced the “pre-2k” filter which I never mentioned and turned this into a no-true-Scotsman debate.

- ffsm8 2y ago...what? how is 90s not pre 2k? you do know what timeperiod the 90s is, right? oooh, i see. you edited it out of your initial comment back then and i didn't notice. I guess you realized how dumb that statement was and couldn't man up to it.
- adastra22 2y agoAm I taking crazy pills? I never mentioned the 90's! Here's my original post, which is unedited: > Developers like you and I are a dying breed. We remember writing applications for operating systems that had straightforward APIs, and OS developers that worked hard to ensure any app which used those APIs would not break. > Most "full-stack" developers I know that write web apps have literally never written a line of C++ in their life, let alone written a rich text editor using an object oriented desktop GUI API. > They don't know it's not supposed to hurt. HN doesn't allow editing comments outside of a very short edit window.
