Shocker, you're 25 years older and feel nostalgia for the way things were when you were young.

> I won't vibe-code it, what's the fun in that?

I mean, find out what the fun is in that? Or don't and cry on HN? Your choice.

> I don't care for coding new stuff.

OK, don't code new stuff then.

Take the opposite view that computers are more fun than ever and see if you can understand that perspective? What would someone who believes that be doing on their computer? Why would that be fun for them?

If you're not willing to consider that seriously then yeah you're probably just going to get sadder and sadder.
