The ancient programmer is speaking! Back in the primordial soup of web development, we coded entire websites in Notepad or Vi like absolute savages. No syntax highlighting, no auto-complete, just pure ASCII and tears. Modern devs with their fancy VS Code and 47 extensions would probably faint at the sight of us manually typing every <table> tag for layout. Those were the days of real grit—when a single misplaced semicolon meant spending three hours debugging, and we LIKED it that way! Kids these days will never understand the character-building experience of FTPing files one by one while praying the connection holds.
