@blacklight I'm not sure it's "lost". There are still some very very brilliant people writing software out there. But back in 1977, only the most brilliant people had the means to write code. Nowdays... well, you know how this goes.

On the one hand, average code quality has suffered. Obviously 😠

On the other hand, it's nice to give normal people opportunities. Because the secret is - those "normal" people - those mundane 99.9% bell-curvers - they're you and me. We get to write code.
