Ask HN: What was programming like before internet?
I recently talked to someone who helped a company with their main-frame architecture in the 80s.
As a 90s kid, I grew up with internet, github and stackoverflow so it can be argued that I got everything easily.
But I'm eager to know what was it like before internet or personal computers were a thing.
Who hired you? What did you work on? How did you learn ? How did you fix issues? How did you find talent? How did news spread? Do you have any war-time stories ?
