@danielpunkass I’ve made it to 65 - not sure I was ever 100% punk, but definitely still angry.

@jabel Nailed it. 2020 internet didn’t much resemble 1995 internet, at least from my point of view. I’ve spent much of the past 5 years cutting computer & internet use. Now I worry that micro.blog is too civil and will sucker me back in to living online!

@manton We’ve seen this movie before (“Anyone will be able to program a computer just by telling it what they want it to do”) multiple times, at least as far back as the Japanese 5GL projects in the 1980s. Perhaps it’s different this time, but I’m skeptical. It’s a perennial dream of the capitalist class who would like to dispense with those pesky (& expensive) programmers.
