My first real program was a UVEPROM copier. It was written in MC6800 Machine Code, and we had 256 bytes (not kilobytes) of RAM for everything; including the code. That was in 1983.

I am currently working in Swift, with an LLM, on a fairly good-sized app, in Xcode, for a device that probably has a minimum of 64 GB of storage, and 8 GB of RAM.

I don’t really miss the good ol’ days, to be honest. I’m having a blast.
