Yeah I do remember back in those days where if you wanted the computer to do what you wanted it to do you had to sit down and program the damned thing. Then you get one decimal place in the wrong spot and the code wont run. Then to sit there and look through it to try to find the mistake was a pain in the ass
These days, I don't do much programming - but I do a bunch of scripting. The WordPress sites I have are heavily customized. I do some PHP scripting with them. I enjoy that. It's fun geeking out like that.
I have not done any programming for many years. Since the 80s. All I have to do is run scripts and verify they completed successfully
I do write some of my own scripts in like bash or Perl. I should learn Python. I've got some books on Python, but haven't even cracked their covers yet.
