If you're looking for a full version history of all WordPerfect releases between 1979 and 1997, here it is.

I'm personally using WordPerfect 6.2 for DOS and WordPerfect 3.5e for Macintosh as my main word processors.

@mos_8502 our ability to identify bugs in code during review is strongly reliant on our intuition for where bugs might exist, which in turn is based on observing human cognition and behaviour in the context of software development.

LLM-generated code sits in a kind of uncanny valley. it's a close enough approximation of human-written code that we will naturally anthropomorphise it and attempt to apply our standard intuition, but the bugs are fundamentally uncorrelated with our intuition.
