I remember reading this quote in the original print magazine when I was a teenager living in rural Nebraska. For some reason a Safeway in the nearest town had a decent selection of magazines including Dr Dobbs Journal and MSJ. I cut out that particular quote and pasted it next to my monitor, because I was so deeply struck by the fact that there was actually another person in the world who felt the way did about programming. It’s quite the wave of nostalgia reading it again now in my 40s. How little has changed…

Yeah exactly. Nothing really changed. The magazines either closed door or turned to online but we get new magazines too, such as PoC|GTFO and others.

People of like mind still burn candles to navigate the mazes that they out themselves into. Even at the age of 40 and far from my prime, I'd still burn all nighters to solve something. The only difference is that I usually quit at 4 or 5 and it takes a couple of days to recover.
