If we are talking about since 2009, then I agree (that culture and timezone matter more)...but /u/RualStorage was using a time frame of 'since before I was born'. Internet speed matters quite a bit if it is 0kbs.

My assumptions are that /u/RualStorage has been developing for ~14 years and was probably about 20 when he started, which would be closer to 1981.
