I had to code in 0s and 1s, and sometimes we didn’t even have the 1s.

LOL!
Before PCs were invented, I worked with cutting edge programmers to finesse what I needed to tease out of the 1s and 0s.
Three floors of machines to support about thirty user terminals....

There is still only essentially 1s and 0s in computer code.
But now they are all overlaid with multiple layers of shortcut codes.(I think people call them apps nowadays)

It took me forever to adapt/trust Windows, much less Apple/Macs, since I couldn't really understand their secretive shortcuts and codes.

I use Ctrl-Alt-Delete often! It's my favorite app. I wonder what people are going to do when a massive EMP event occurs.
