Back when dinosaurs roamed the earth (aka the 1960s), programmers had to manually punch holes in cards to represent binary code. One wrong punch and your entire program crashed spectacularly.

The person in this image is dramatically lamenting the loss of their painstaking punch card skills—as if anyone would actually miss spending 8 hours debugging because they sneezed while punching card #4,721.
