Blimey!

The one with the English accent is ChatGBT, mate.

That was kind of a boomer thread comment.

That’s kind of a millennial whiny, narcissistic comment.

Is that where they rally the troops for the CULTURE WAR, speak about transitioning and eating babies?

Yes, it’s also where they invent the new genders for the upcoming week.

If I watch that one where they copied Stuxnet code, will the government know where I hid my bitcoins?

Wow!!! I need to learn this!

Bill Gates demonstrates Visual Basic (1991)

I loved early VB. VBA too. I built some really fun and powerful apps with them in my first proper IT job. And it was a joy to use.

Pre-Google, you only had the manuals and help files and nothing like Stack overflow to look up out how to do stuff but I never felt it slowed me down; it was that well designed.

Edit: damn, I miss those days. I soon got seconded onto an ERP implementation project and my career has never been as fun since.

I built a few things with vba back in the day, most notably a project management system with another guy. I prefer python any its myriad of libraries for what I do now though.

Maybe because most people are now using iPhones and Android devices and not a PC with Windoze.

The biggest issue with Microsoft, from my perspective, is their consistent habit of abandoning their products. It’s only a matter of time before they stop releasing updates and bug fixes for my covidshot wifi.
