OP here. A ton of work went into making this video and I tried to be as accurate as possible. I know folks like Alan Kay and others come by Hacker News from time to time, so please let me know in the comments if there's anything I missed or got wrong.

This was both difficult and fun to make — it's a departure from the types of videos I've been making. Hope you like it!

Nice video. There have been some modern hypercard attempts, has anyone used any of those? They seemed pretty promising during the wave of "no-code" just before LLMs entered the scene. But hypercard still grants users the joy of creation, which is mostly lost when interacting with an LLM.

Quality video. Engaging, informative, entertaining. Sadly I largely missed the SE growing up, we jumped from the Apple IIe to a 386

    Thank you!

    I had to suffer the embarrassment of a Tandy Sensation as our first home computer lol. (Sorry, Tandy Sensation – you were a very good friend and I owe you a lot.)
