I feel a certain way when I work with older programmers who used to program using punch cards, and debug actual core dumps, i.e. the main memory of the computer printed out in hex. They have incredible attention to detail, and can reason about why their programs didn't do what they expected.

In some ways slower feedback loops might be useful. Having to think and reason if your code is correct and actually works because you only get output next day...

Instead of just vibing something out, pushing it to prod and seeing the problems. Or not even checking...
