Did you thing it was still the 2000's or something? That you were still free to write code, put it out there and have people use it freely? A decade ago, I made a joke comment to a friend that you were soon going to need a carry permit to operate a compiler. Joke's not so funny in 2026. | ||

A decade ago, I made a joke comment to a friend that you were soon going to need a carry permit to operate a compiler. Richard Stallman's Right to Read (1997) made a similar observation. | ||

So, the guy that HN loves to mock and poke fun at - Richard Stallman - was utterly correct after all. | ||
