Oh! The things we had to do to debug software!
Experienced programmers have tales to tell about the things they had to do to test and debug their applications. They agree on one thing: The bad ol’ days of development are best left in the past.

@estherschindler Love these lines: "An unhappy voice from the back of the room began excoriating me for using COBOL.
Standing there, petite and trim, was an elderly Admiral who was clearly not impressed. “You should be using C,” Admiral Grace Hopper told me."
@estherschindler - funny- I'm seeing some of the younger devs cling to the old ways as if they were better just because they were less automated.
I wonder if any other devs-of-a-certain-age™ have experienced this.
