I grew up coding C on djgpp on DOS and I remember seeing win3.11 and Desqview/X and then jumping to an early red hat (CDs ordered through the mail!) with gnome and OpenVMS/CDE I keep a set of emulated machines that can boot me back into these environments, I click around, play a game for a few minutes, maybe code game of life or a maze solver in C, and then go … “Ha! Those were the days” and then go back to my 4k 120Hz waaaaaay more advanced IDE and say “phew it good to be back, this is way better” It doesn’t make me feel old or young, but I enjoy the stroll down memory lane every 4-5 months.
