It was clearly far better hardware than we could build, had a proper full featured operating system on it, and as soon as it shipped, people figured out how to jailbreak it and program it. I wrote the foreword for Kirstens book Irresistable APIs , and recommend anyone designing an API should read it.

I believe anyone who comes to programming after 2010 will tell you GUI tools increase their productivity over a CLI solution. Easier access to files, features, and the operating system. Navicat has a powerful data modeling tool for visualizing database structures, making changes, and designing entire schemas from scratch.

First, a bit of operating-system design context. It is desirable for a program to be able to go to sleep and then wake up a little while later. Ideally the CPU goes to sleep when Sleep(1) is called, in order to save power, so how does the operating system (OS) wake your thread if the CPU is sleeping?

This kind of change has happened before: in the early days of computing, programmers “wrote” programs by plugging in wires, then by toggling in binary numbers, then by writing assembly language code, and finally (in the late 1950s) using early programming languages like COBOL (1959) and FORTRAN (1957).
