  1. What people don't realize is that until the tech boom coding was not seen as a prestigious job, it was a technical vocation only a handful of people even knew the necessity of. That's why you see so many women coding early computers, because the men were typically building them and running the experiments on them.

  5. A lot of it comes for free with an app store or your computer too. Also, that price simply reflects costs at the time. These days there are code monkeys in turdworld states that will code up aps for peanuts so that the country can pretend they have technology
