@nazgul #GraceHopper would be so proud, she'd salute that person!

Modern #TechStack|s are convenient but they also make #developers lazy and result in the #enfattening of #Software and #Games.
- Like we had entire Music Videos on the spare space of a #NeoGeoCD which meant this needed to be streamed, and mind you this is redbook CD Audio, not fancy ATRAC3 or Opus...
Nowadays we have shitty #WebApps that eat up 100+MB just for a #WebView and which are instantly useless once they don't have a high-speed, low latency internet connection!
- People like #GraceHopper and #MargaretHamilton propably wouldn't even be mad, but just disappointed, knowing how a modern #IDE eats more computing power than the entire human race had at their career peaks...
And don't even get me started on all the #WastefulComputing aka. "#AI" #bs and #Shitcoin - #Scams!
Infosec.SpaceKevin Karhan :verified: (@kkarhan@infosec.space)@sekka@shark.community But one of the best tracks - abeit #Blues, not #Chill or #Jazz - is
Blue Mary Blues

Hard to believe they were able to get this done with a 135 kbit/s CD-ROM drive and 2 MB of cache!

@inthehands if it was as easy as those #CryptoBros / #TechBros think, do they think people like #GraceHopper would've been pulled from retirement trice?

@CatMaidLeugim so you gotta learn #COBOL like #GraceHopper taught them?

- Cuz that would be cool tho...
The reasons given in this article would be more convincing if they stuck to actual computer scientists.
#gracehopper #billgates yes but the others are arguable.
From what I've read #stevejobbs paid people to write nearly all his code. That doesn't really count.
The same goes for #elonMusk too. He's a #scientist yeah but not really a computer scientist.
#dennisritchie or #linustorvalds would be better examples.

So #GraceHopper is very directly responsible for some major innovations in the way we use computers.
But if you see other posts about her today, you are likely to see a few things attributed to her that she is *not* responsible for. Let me explain.
It is true that on September 9, 1947, Hopper or a member of her team pulled a moth from one of the relays in Harvard’s Mark II computer and taped it in their logbook. But she did not invent the terms “bug” or “debugging.”
