I learned programming in college using Basic and Fortran. I also learned using punch cards. Yes, I am old. I probably can’t get any programming jobs.

When I was in college, we still registered for classes with IBM cards.

I used to wire panels for 407s, 514s,188s, etc., assembler on UNIVAC with Fastran II and RAMAC 305, assembler on B263 - later NEAT, Wordmark assembler on 1401. I’m not old, I’m ancient. All of the above by the age of 24. Did you ever work on clustered 370-165s and 168s? DEC VMS clustered 9886, 8666 (3) and 6860? Clustering winservers using nightwolf back in the early 90s along with tunneling access in the same period.

“I also learned using punch cards.”
Same here, started with IBM in 67’ on Unit Record wiring boards, a type of coding I guess. then 1410/7010 Autocoder. Advanced to 360/MFT/MVT etc, Assembler Pl/1. Kind of ancient myself. LOL

I learned Fortran using punch cards in graduate school and BASIC on my Commodore Amiga. Yes, I’m very old too.
