“Liquid A**”? It’s right there!

In this thread, we have found all the programmers born before 1975!

Hey, some of us are younger and happened to get into programming via making games on their TI-83 graphing calculator in Z80!

Aztec C had both native and interpreted code generation, back in the day.

“Terrible, horrible, no good” is the new “considered harmful.”

"Mind-bogglingly poorly thought out to the degree of a cynical money-grubbing scheme worthy of the finest cambodian slave camp" was taken and is disrespectful to the hard work and education of said slave camp's operators.

Additionally, their distributions were different. People who read Dijkstra circa 1968 started using the phrase in their own publications within a decade, whereas people who read Viorst (or had it read to them) in 1972 and following years had at least a few decades of further delay before publishing anything using the corresponding phrase.

This means you use an ad blocker.

Count your blessings.
