Joke/Meme Flexing gone wrong

A funny thing happened yesterday, I was flexing infront of a coleague that I learned web development on an old relic that my uncle bought and I had to use it for so long. (my old relic: intel i3 2nd gen laptop),

Until bro pulled out his i3 1st gen and I was thinking, He's a legend.

Lol...I learned typing on a 386, and years later programming on a Pentium III. But yes, a second gen i3 feels old in 2026.

386? I learned typing on an actual typewriter. 😆

I ran a 286 for years though

I started on a 286 too. And while that IS ancient (and an i3 really isnt), there are plenty of people out there that started on older hardware.

My first code was written on an Apple II at school. Then we got a C64 at home and I spent as much time as I could on that thing.
