I did an engineering degree at Cambridge in the 2000s and the computing module had us assemble some assembly for some ancient CPU by hand - looking up opcodes in a table in a book - and then type the opcodes into a microcontroller via a 10 digit keypad. No screen or anything. Insane.
If that isn’t enough to put anyone off programming then I don’t know what is…
If you’re not programming on punch cards you’re a filthy casual
