I have somehow found myself doing a lighthearted talk on retro hacking this Wednesday. Would anyone here happen to know anything about it?

According to the movies it’s 90 percent just saying “I’m in” then you’re in.

Do you mean programming? Not that much different from a few years ago tbh. Vibe coding may have changed stuff since then. Otherwise, there was less emphasis on online services, so the upgrade cycle was slower and you had to test more before shipping. That was, perhaps, a good thing in terms of software reliability.
