IT

Computer classes at school were not for me.

It was 1986, the computers were Commodore C64 and the eye-hurting monitors with a bunch of clumsy code just weren't for me.

In University, computers were suddenly for me.

I could write, store and print my theses without a typewriter.

Earning money with doing the same for others was for me.

I learned to create plans and plotted them on a huge workstation.

Then came the internet.

First modem, electronic banking.

It was 1991.

I learned about TCP/IP, HTML and CGI.

Published my first web site in 1996.

All the time, working with computers included a lot of coding. GUIs weren't the norm.

Then GUIs became the norm. Drag and drop it was.

Now it's 2016 and I find myself back drowning in code for a freaking web site.



What happened?
