> 1. Programming didn't start in the 80s or 90s. It started in the 40s-50s,

Programming in the 40s and 50s was very different from programming in the 80s or 90s and it's disingenuous to conflate them or suggest that they are the same.

True, programming back then was much more mathematical and required stronger analysis skills and rigor.
