How Early Programmers Coded Without Modern Tools

Before IDEs and the Internet, early programmers wrote assembly directly into switch‑controlled machines, manually entering hexadecimal code into 1 KB memories, later using paper tape and punched cards at about 110 bits per second, before BASIC and Unix introduced interactive, higher‑level development that led to today’s instant, screen‑based environments.
