@marado @suetanvil @rperezrosario Is that simply the bracket for "I remember the world from before home internet was a thing, and programming was something you needed books to do"?

@rperezrosario @suetanvil @marado @skolima

Learned mainframe coding on a VT100 the hard way. I had a couple manuals, a green screen, a couple phone numbers I could call. 1987. They still had filing cabinets full of punch cards. Stacks of tapes in the corner no one could read. Fun times.

When I retired in 2020 I had a wall of books about programming environments, stats, and math. Nobody wanted ANY of them.

@marado

This is definitely more representative of the Fediverse demographics.

@mina @marado @suetanvil @rperezrosario

also if you were to expand the survey to those who aren't techies you will find the demographics skew even older (there's a lot of people in their 70s and above who joined Fedi over the last few years, particularly progressive-minded older folk from the USA and UK)

@marado @suetanvil @rperezrosario what about younger than 10 years? I don't think it's wise.. But who knows?
