actually, i believe the top two should be switched.
at least that is what my perception is of people who drink coffee vs people who don't drink coffee.
but it does make sense in the sense that the pictures represent someone who is already addicted to coffee, which feels like must be a majority of programmers hahaha
I'm glad the team who programmed the early Internet had the Internet, otherwise we wouldn't have any Internet.
bootstrapping problem.
From what I've heard they really did have lots and lots of books like in the comic. And were jealous of colleagues that had even more.
Before the books, the world of computing was small enough you probably picked stuff up by having a personal relationship with the other people using that specific mainframe, and the vendor of the mainframe. Before that, you were on the team that build the experimental electronic computer for your institution anyway. And then there's Conrad Zeus, I guess.
