Here's a summarization of the summary (also done by AI, because lazy):
The author recalls his initial reluctance to speak publicly after a past misstep and later revisits the subject by examining how movies, such as 2001: A Space Odyssey and WarGames, dramatize computers. He contrasts these cinematic portrayals with the subtle influence of everyday technologies like email and PowerPoint, and criticizes modern development tools like Visual Studio and IntelliSense for potentially diminishing deep coding skills. Ultimately, he champions a return to fundamental programming to rediscover the pure joy of coding.
how didn't I think of that, thanks!
