@wycats makes me reconsider some things (for example is the next generation of devs on sub $200 authoring env?) -
@brianleroux@wycats reasonable to predict that money won't be the bottleneck to productivity -- literacy, access, and skills will. -
@davidascher Money can often be a bottleneck. Growing up, I didn't have $ for a new computer. Was running a 386 mid-90s.@brianleroux -
@wycats@brianleroux oh for sure it was. And is still often. My point is that with moore's law, it may not be the bottleneck of the future. -
@davidascher I'm just saying that $200 sounded like a lot of money to me back then and would likely still today.@brianleroux -
@wycats@brianleroux Expressing computer costs in # of days worked for a given population probably useful to assess that question. -
@davidascher College (and financial aid for books/tools) was the first time I could really use modern tools for anything@brianleroux -
@wycats@brianleroux I do believe I hear you, and I'm sorry you had to deal with that -- also impressed how far you got. I was luckier. - 7 more replies
