back in my day we only had one language. it was called ASSEMBLY. wanted to make the computer do something? you had to ask it yourself. and that worked JUST FINE

Well la-tee-da, fuck my AND gates and inverters.

Look at moneybags over here with his instruction sets.

Back in my day when you wanted a computer to do something, you just asked her to do it and then underpaid her because women can't hold real jobs.

Gates and inverters!!?

Luxury!

In my day we had to use transitors and resistors and, if we were lucky, maybe capacitors.

Look at me, I have a friend at bell labs.
We had to use vacuum tubes, and we liked it.

Back in my dsy we only had non programmable computers. Wanted to make the computer do something? You had to specifically build in the function. And that worked JUST FINE

Back in my day we had an abacus and if you wanted it to do something you had to do it your damn self. And that worked JUST FINE.

Oh hello mister fancy pants with your abacus. We carved notches in rocks and we were happy with that.

Back in my day people worked 16h days everyday and had no time for math or computers. And that was JUST FINE.
