Hansol CRT

Someone left a broken CRT computer display next to the recycling bins. It brought memories.

Back in 1998, my first color screen was like this, or very close to it. Same brand – Hansol, and the same look from behind. I don’t remember the exact model but I remember the smell of fresh plastic and static electricity. The smell remained for months and I loved it.

It was very surprising to see how my website looked in color. I built it with the previous black and white display. In a sense, this purchase forced me to rewrite my website and learn some JavaScript.

    1. I wrote with Notepad, and then my brother wrote something like Notepad but with very basic additions I needed for coding.

      You don’t need an IDE for coding, to this very moment I prefer vim over my AI-assisted VS Code.

      1. Wow. I know that you don’t need an IDE still, but I could probably not write anything without Jetbrains Webstorm 😂. Well, I could, but it would be full of errors.

        I feel handicapped using VS code 😝. I hate saying that word. Disabled is better, but handicapped shows the weirdness of it 😂.

        I think it’s absolutely awesome that you prefer vim over an AI assisted IDE ❤️. 👍💪

      2. VS Code I use when I have a task that requires touching unfamiliar React code. It’s much easier to navigate a million files until I find the right one, and also the auto-complete is good.

      3. Nice. I’ve heard a lot of good things about VS Code. Personally I can’t use it. I’ve had to use it lately because I don’t have a license for PHPStorm any longer, but VS code in general is really confusing to me.
