You HAD to program better in those days. You didn't need conference rooms, focus groups, steering committes, a manager for each programmer, TPS reports, and huge office buildings.

You made a few sketches, thought about it, and started hacking. You kept the whole thing in mind until it was done. That's why old programs didn't break if somebody breathed on them hard. Unlike today's garbage. (Except PG music products of course!)
