TIm Sweeney with a hot mechanical keyboard take

So I busted out my IBM PC keyboard model M. I wrote ZZT and Unreal Engine 1 on this thing. With apologies to Moore's Law, I gotta say - 1984 was peak keyboard. The code just types out better with these keys. pic.twitter.com/3j0V3eujqt

We are in this together, and these people congregating are not helping. The church up the street from me is doing livestream sermons.

Rest in peace, Jason Hargrove.
