Turbo Pascal was the first coding app on the PC that was truly fast and flawlessly integrated. It allowed me and 1000's of other coders back then to create games and other types of programs much more quickly than before. Every single game I personally wrote and released publicly…

In the 90's, C++ was still a workable language. Today, it is a monstrosity, a mess as a result of trying to accommodate and include every single feature and proposal. It is the globohomo of programming languages.
Our culture has been in steady decline since 2001. Some say culture has been in decline since the 60's.
I thought I'd share this, for thos who'd like to try making a game without using a library, just with the windows win32 API directly. This code here (link to it in reply) is probably the minimum needed to create a window and set up a screen buffer that you can plot pixels to

Retro computing is more important than ever. Modern software is bloated, slow, overly complex. By going back to the the old way of doing things, we restore sanity in an increasingly insane industry.
Much of the complexity of modern programming practices are self-inflicted. We don't need any of that crap. We're creating busy work for the sake of it. Programmers get bored and crave exciting new stuff, so we create all sorts of new tech. Such a waste of time and productivity.
Modern programming is too unnecessarily hard and complex. Most of my focus nowadays is dumbing things down, sacrifice complex functionality for easier implementation.
Do hard things. Challenge yourself. Take the first steps.
Make programming fun again. Code things from scratch. Re-invent the wheel. (Who knows, you might discover something new.) Use a simple language like C with minimal dependencies. Keep programs small and creative.

ChatGPT and AI means that things are going to suck for a while, as corporations and entities think they can save money by using AI to replace humans. Utilizing human creativity and ingenuity instead of AI will be a competitive advantage.
