The explosion of JS and web development created a culture of people totally ignorant of the hard-learned lessons since the 1960s. That is why you see constant reinventions of the wheel, a shitty wheel at that.


No, I didn't mean that. I mean people today looks like disabled on looking up reliable sources and just parrot a simple opinion on software over 20 years old without looking the Hall Of Fame on its homepage.

That and their selfish issue being unable to acknowledge the 90's legacy and we could achieve in early 00's. For example their previous comment stating as if everything was invented in late 00's/early 10's and we were badly surviving with DOS and Amigas in late 90's, when, FFS, people began to emulate Amigas in '99 with UAE.

Man, we have Voodoo's and Geforce's exploded in late 90's, raytracing was done in software but we didn't do the crippled examples people is trying to show off to the rest as if it was what we truly do in the 90's. Not even close. Even a 286 could do these under half and hour or a full one, but that was the 3D lore from several years ago.
