Its 2019. I was just tasked with writing code to print to a dot matrix printer.

The world runs on legacy systems

Mostly because those boxes sit in closets and no one is sure what they do

Ah, the memories of not having to deal with those anymore.

Fuck those paper jams at times.

It's 2019. I remember installing DOS in a VM and HyperTIES, also other ancient hypertext systems last year. I even tried to find the very first webserver/webbrowser software and related applications.

Today I use technologies that don't exist now. They will be developed tomorrow

Dot matrix printers are still common if you need carbon copies. Laser or ink do not poke hard enough ;-)
