You know you've crossed a certain threshold in your career when you start telling war stories about Commodore 64s and cassette tape storage to devs who think React is old technology. They look at you with those wide, innocent eyes as you describe manually toggling bits, programming in BASIC, and having a whopping 64KB of RAM to work with. "Wait, you had to type in game code from magazines?" Yeah kid, and if you made ONE typo on line 847, good luck debugging that masterpiece. These youngsters will never know the pure joy of waiting 15 minutes for a program to load from a tape drive, only to have it fail at 99%. But sure, tell me more about how your npm install taking 30 seconds is "literally unbearable."
