At the end of high school and during my first year at university, Windows was already mature... but I still didn’t adopt it for development.

I was so focused building my own GUI under DOS, called VMAWin, using Borland Pascal.

(see it here in SVGA 800x600)

In 2001, I wrote two articles on Internet Explorer that made it into print magazines. See my video.

Say what you will, but back then, IE really did push the web forward.

@addyosmani @csaba_kissi Delphi!! Me too!
I started with Pascal under DOS (just posted recently at @mveteanu about some of my earliest DOS programs) and then transitioned to Delphi.
Delphi was so more advanced than VB.

Some time ago, I played with the idea of designing for young students and coding newcomers a dedicated coding computer: a distraction-free, “Coral Micro” that boots straight into coding, similar to classic 8-bit machines.

@RetroCoast It had nicely illustrated books ;-)

Two collections. 50+ games each. Mostly generated with AI.

Left @codeguppy games:

Now it’s your turn: show your AI-generated games! Show time!!! 🎮

@KilledByAPixel That's super nice!

In high school I built an MCGA library for making games and demos under DOS, using Borland Pascal and x86 assembly.

Used mainly PCGPE as reference and various other gfx resources. A friend did some optimizations.

Did anyone here code under DOS?

ML Engineer vs AI Engineer

[Marian Veteanu @mveteanu]

AI-assisted engineering moves people from execution toward oversight, system design, and end-to-end product thinking

[Marian Veteanu @mveteanu]

Reviewers shouldn’t have to reverse-engineer a huge AI-written diff line by line.

The author needs to explain: what changed, why, what’s risky, what was tested, and how to roll it back.

Review the risk, not every line.

[Marian Veteanu @mveteanu]

Code review needs a rethink in the AI era.

Reviewers shouldn’t have to piece together the whole story from a huge diff.

Tell them what changed, why it changed, what’s risky, what was tested, and how to roll it back.

Review the risk, not every line.
