@RedGamingTech I had a 33k modem as my first. The very first time i went online, I happened to land on a blatantly obvious USA based website, and i immediately disconnected the modem to avoid high phone charges. The innocence of it all 😄

FICTION: The sounds you heard from a phoneline when listening to one being used by a 56K modem is data being transferred. FACT: The sounds you are hearing were the raging screams of others in your house hold as you tied up the phone line again

“Coding” was never the source of value, and people shouldn’t get overly attached to it. Problem solving is the core skill. The discipline and precision demanded by traditional programming will remain valuable transferable attributes, but they won’t be a barrier to entry. Many times over the years I have thought about a great programmer I knew that loved assembly language to the point of not wanting to move to C. I have to fight some similar feelings of my own around using existing massive codebases and inefficient languages, but I push through. I had somewhat resigned myself to the fact that I might be missing out on the “final abstraction”, where you realize that managing people is more powerful than any personal tool. I just don’t like it, and I can live with the limitations that puts on me. I suspect that I will enjoy managing AIs more, even if they wind up being better programmers than I am.

@RedGamingTech ...and if you were very posh, the sound of your dot matrix printer in initialising

Memories. There was just something about the sounds of an old hard drive whirring into action, the PC speaker beeps, the hum of the CRT as it warmed up and the sounds from the old mechanical keyboards

@maxseddon ...child psychology

Putin says he’d rather have Biden as President than Trump. “He’s more experienced, he’s predictable, he’s an old-school politician.” He doubts Biden’s age makes him “incapable.” When they met Biden was “nothing of the sort.” “Who of us hasn’t banged their head on something?”
