Software Engineering : Greatest Hits 1947 2047
summary
A rapid chronological tour claims that computing best practice cycles from Colossus vs ENIAC through Fortran, Lisp, Apollo 1202 alarms and Y2K‑style epoch bugs to modern container tooling, arguing Docker ends up as “enterprise Tupperware” and Docker Compose becomes the last deployment language. Demonstrations name tools like Fortran, Java, cloud formation and Docker, cite surprising historical wins (UNIVAC election prediction accurate to ~1%), and imagines hacks that work (Nokia 3210 mesh via Snake) and failures (Windows‑style error dialogs on the lunar lander).
