TheJen will not complyMay 8

Folks are gonna need to stop with the "grandma on the computer" to mean uneducated users tropes soon.

I was writing and debugging code to a cassette tape drive before a lot of folks who say this nonsense were even born. I have built my own computers from the case up. My first computer class in college was COBOL. I hard coded websites before there were any tools to do it with.

I'm 52.

What I find is that most of the yunguns have no fucking idea how they work and couldn't find a command line if their life depended on it.

So, yanow, maybe stop.

@TheJen I wish id grown up in that era and done all that!! Modern coding doesn't interest me at all.. And its not worth learning old languages. Especially when anyone can ask a slop bot to spit out code for them. Kind of killed my want to learn any programming.

@bridgeenjoyer @TheJen Your hand-written code could be so much more efficient, secure and maintainable.

@jvk @bridgeenjoyer I remember even writing it it long hand in a notebook and debugging it there before typing it in. :)
