Perhaps you're joking, but I'm not. The personal computer revolution began in earnest with the Apple II in 1977, joined by the Commodore 64 in 1982. Gen-X boys shoved Gen-X girls aside, shoved the computers into their bedrooms, and 15 years later were at the right place and the right time to shove an Algol-based tech stack onto the center stage of the dot com boom. SQL was a necessary evil held at arms length behind ORMs as fear, uncertainty, and doubt rapidly took root. It's taken decades, but finally, mercifully, the Gen-X priests of procedural programming are losing their grip and we're just starting to emerge from the Dark Ages of all this superstitious nonsense about not putting business logic in the database. It's been a long strange trip, but it's never too late to study the classics. After all, they never really go out of style.
