A product of GW-BASIC. Versed in many languages and technologies over the years from pre-web to post-web. What I enjoy most about software engineering is problem solving. I am my own worst enemy. π
Somehow I feel like intellisense (and maybe even Google? π) belongs on this list. Prior to that we had to buy, store, dig and sift through very large reference books in search of functions and their signatures. ππ
I still have a shelf in my basement filled with the βInside Macintoshβ volumes. There are literally like 20 books. The legendary one was Vol. 6... Iβve seen smaller sets of encyclopedias!

LOL! I have a similar problem, still have lots of old books from the 80s and 90s. I have to just force myself to accept that they're just never going to be interesting to my kids and they'll never have any meaningful historical value, despite how hard I want either of those to be true. ππ
