    I started with punched cards (and correcting mistakes by reinserting chads) using a language called Tab3 on a Honeywell-Bull GE115 - a computer with 16k of memory, 4 tape drives, a card reader, paper tape reader and a line printer (hear one of those things go...) that took up a room that was about 4mx10m. We punched our own programs. More power in a watch nowadays.

    Moved to a Univac 90/30 with Univac Cobol - coding sheets with a punching department until we got the luxury of Univac's BEM - where you could use a screen to edit code. Hi tech eh? Only had two screens though for a team of about 20.

    I still find it easier to write all in uppercase, put lines through Zs, 7s and zeros....

    I have no understanding of computer programming, have no idea of what you’re  talking about and happily use the products of your labours in blissful ignorance  …  but I can follow a complex knitting pattern and produce a garment … that’ll have to do me. 😎

    I doubt AI will use knitting patterns to take over the world though - or maybe it is....muhahahaha (that's an evil laugh)

    I saw some of those in Birchington on Sea, earlier in the week. On postboxes, on every post that exists to stop people parking. Dozens and dozens of them. It's a wonderful idea, and lovely that people actually leave them in situ. If done in the area I live, they'd be vandalised, and removed. 

    Congratulations to those who make them - and those who leave them for others to enjoy.
