PDP 8, all written in assembly language and entered from the front panel switches. What a royal PITA.

And yes, the network got hacked a few times, including a biggie by a German guy working for the East Germans who used it to access European government computers. . Even back then it was possible to do that.

Indeed, it is. I was a COBOL programmer for 18 years until the economy crashed in 2008. After that, it died off in my region of the country. However, there are still quite a few COBOL job listings from around the country so it is definitely still alive and kicking after 64 years!

Never considered my self a programer but i did patch cabling and also used a Friden flexowritter to make machine codes to run machine shop machines. I wrote some of the software used by the first Friden electronic calculator.

I’ve gone from punch cards and paper tapes to object based programming. And a bit in between. Wow

In the day I wrote COBOL code that called FORTRAN subroutines owing to the fact that performing mathematical calculations were much easier to accomplish using FORTRAN. Eventually I did object based coding with C++. Fast forward to today and I use HTML coding. All different but similar in some ways.
