the difference is the level of freely available instruction. you can go on youtube nowadays and probably a find a guide to augmenting or hacking your preferred mmorpg in whatever language you prefer. you can find a tutorial on anything and everything.

back then if you wanted to learn how to code, you'd have to go to college or buy some dry $50 text called the C++ bible and try and make sense of it. online tutorials existed but mostly to teach the basics.

it's wild to me that zoomers are so stupid when you can learn ANYTHING YOU WANT for free.
