  • The prevalence of FOSS software is amazing.

    Linux distros, BSDs, GCC, LLVM, GNU tools… The equivalent stack in the 90s was expensive, proprietary, and rare. I was getting software from magazine CDs, and none of the expensive tool chains were showing up on them.

    Free DVCS in Git is also great. No manual versioning schemes anymore. git init for a new repo. There was SVN, but it required a server.
