Some of the assertions from the author about how things were in the past are pretty off. Office 2000 wasn't happy with 75 MHz and 32 MB ram at all. I would say the average computer at that time was at least 200MHz with 128MB of RAM.

In addition in 1995, developer "platforms" were rarely Windows-based. Borland was still hugely popular at that time, and DOS-based compilers were still big. The assertions he makes about the developer platforms are a complete joke: "Support for graphing of data, theming, 3D graphics" were completely not a thing, nor was "Sophisticated support for multi-language software components".

I'm pretty sure the author didn't develop back in 1995.
