>Makes you wonder how anyone made software before
well they kind of didn't. There was significantly less software in the olden days and you usually had to call someone personally and if you were lucky they fixed your bug half a year down the line when enough stuff had accrued to deliver a new version.
Yes software is significantly better in the sense that nowadays catching bugs through telemetry or other quick feedback and shipping an update in 24 hours before most people notice it is the norm. I don't know why people romanticize the past.
