I grew up in the age of 8 bit computers, C64s Ataris, spectrums, amstrads, etc. It was cool. Everything was really constrained, and it was super exciting when something broke through a constraint. But now, I think it's even cooler,

we swapped from slack to discord at work. It's been good. It pretty much is the same as slack, the UI, if you compare side by side is very similar ( but look different ). Discords easy voice channels was a deciding factor. The down

I read his book "the emperors new mind" in 1990, which is a fantastic book. It has a great section on computability.
