    @aemstuz@mastodon.com.pl @foone@digipres.club School had ttys to Dartmouth College’s BASIC in 1967. I began programming w/Z80 machine language in 1980 & started learning C on a TRS80 Xenix machine in 1984.

    @aemstuz@mastodon.com.pl @foone@digipres.club something that occurred to me recently, but I never posted: The first and last word against LLM use (especially in programming) ought to've been "Dijkstra would not have liked this"
