@johncutlefish The more consistent one's experiences, the more one believes they understand "the real world." The more insular one's experiences, the more consistent. "Real world" is merely a descriptive term people use for the stories they tell themselves about their own experiences.

@mattfahrner Thank you, Matt. I'll raise a taco in your honor!

@TelmoPestana Thanks!

@fjzeit our generation INVENTED the internet, mobile devices, web apps, etc. Our *parents* INVENTED the personal computer. I've been programming since 1979, and still do. Yes, I use data science libraries, UI libraries, modern language and editors, and AI. Sheesh.
