       I know this seems counterintuitive, but I originally liked computers as a kid because they felt “simple” to me. By the time I was in college they already felt overly complex. By now, they feel like hopeless, impenetrable, tangled disasters.Old machines were limited and clunky and temperamental and slow and often a huge pain in the ass, but I felt like I could understand them. Today there is so much to memorize, so many interconnected systems and services and toolchains and transpilers and webpackers… I don’t know, maybe I’m just getting too old. But even in my 30s, my peers never seemed to have a problem understanding and adapting to these new paradigms, while I struggled. They are managers and directors and VPs now. I am still a senior software engineer, at the denouement of his career.#retrocomputing #adhd #AuDHD #coding

       @vwestlife Makes it easy for me to know which suggestions to click “Do not recommend this channel again” on though.
