Oh no you don't! You're starting a "back in my day..." thread, that's like saying "Beetlejuice!" three times.

And the ghost of Alan Turing shows up.

Hey I assembled that code on paper on my home made computer and I was in Alan Turing's office the other day!

Much respect indeed and I admire that effort! All I do now is have the LLM generate SVG images of its implementation planfiles for me to review a pretty image because it's become too advanced for me to parse the markdown in appropriate time.

At least you haven’t spent two weeks in AI strategy meetings with people who have used AI to come up with a strategy for AI to implement because if we don’t, our single competitor will win the AI arms race.

Our products are both mature, entirely finished, fully deterministic and the last attempt at this using the same approach just burned all the money that was spent instead of generating any new revenue.

One of my classes in college had an alternate question on a final exam to write a short program in MIPS R2000 binary. Lines and lines of 32 1's and 0's.

It was an easy program. We were allowed an 8.5x11 cheat sheet, I had managed to put a lot of the binary formats for common instructions on it. Easy peasy, got to skip like 1/4 of the other questions.
