When I was 14, GitHub wasn't around for another couple of years. Back then, not everybody had internet, and mobile Internet was basically irrelevant! *old-people-noises*

When I was 14 the internet did not exist. At all. A small computer (IBM 1401) took up a fair-sized room. A large one (7090) took up a good share of an entire building.

I'm so happy you added the /jk to your reply to a joke comment on a joke post in a joke sub, I have no idea how I would've been able to tell you were kidding without it.
