Same generation as you, and same experience. It's just that creativity went elsewhere now. Because there's three trillion ways you can write a program and all of them seem to come with dozens of READMEs and what-to-do and what-not

The real recurring theme is that "I", "me", or "my" ends up appearing a minimum of one time per person and day. After decades of severe depression, it isn't entirely surprising to me that there must be an

"Mythic Quest"[0] is also a great show that I'm sure many people on HN would enjoy on an extra level, since it deals with gaming and making games and they don't hesitate to make fun of their unsaid partnership with Ubiso
