As someone who started young with computers in the 80s you are right.

I miss the simplicity of the first programs I wrote.

I don’t miss a single thing about the hardware.

I’ll take dual 4K displays hooked up to a fast reliable machine over any of my previous machines.

Modern machines are simpler to build, vastly faster, vastly more reliable and vastly cheaper, they win on every metric imo.

I miss my Commodore 64 hardware. I can still feel the clack of the keys.
