Abstract
I imagine that, in the days before most programming languages included garbage collection, way back in the 1980s when people were working with C and Pascal, programming was a much more existential profession. People programmed computer applications that were never intended to be made public, working on programs that were only ever intended to be run on a small number of computers not connected to a big open network like the Internet. Much more time was spent on code to perform data processing and making a program run than went into the user interface.
