Speak for yourself. I was in the computer business 53 years ago.
They did run on kerosene tho ;-)

That's about right. My first programming was in FORTRAN IV on a
System/360 Model 30 in 1965, iirc. I thought it really sucked. I did
hardware control systems until the '70s when you could stake out a
microprocessor on the kitchen table and play with it. Logic is logic,
relays, TTL, whatever.
