Regarding RB[1]: I can't wait to answer questions like this the next time I'm looking for work (likely desperately):

"Can you describe specific ways you have integrated Al tools into your development workflow? Please include any custom setups, automations, or use cases beyond simple prompt usage. (Required)"

Well, I mean, I *can* answer it. But it's just, "No."

My wife got me into listening to old radio shows from the 1930s to the early 2000s, all through Internet radio streams. I enjoyed it so much, I decided to write about it.

Do folks have recommendations for books on very early personal computing history? I'm thinking mostly the 1970s. I've read a lot of computing history but don't mind "obvious" suggestions if you've got them!
