It is amazing to see how things have changed. Beyond the raw technology, some of the things that I specifically learned to avoid as "bad practice" in structured programming courses are now standard practice (multiple return points from functions, for example). Code bloat is still a thing, but I guess it's mostly called "technical debt" now. And somewhere along the way faster hardware and better compilers made it cost-effective to optimize for the programmer's time, instead of the program's performance. I also haven't programmed professionally since the '90s, but to me the emergence of LLMs feels almost like someone hit the "pause" button for 30 years and just recently hit "play" again😁.
