/prog/ - Programming has become too complicated.

I always want to write my own stuff /prog/, but I just never get anything done. Now I read this:

... on the other hand, things were so simple back then. What does it take these days to have access to the screen pixels as an array? Libraries, frameworks, documentation, APIs and whatnot. Back then you just moved a value to CPU register and called a certain interrupt and voila, 320x200x256 graphics mode with framebuffer starting from a well-known address. Then it's just a matter of writing to memory addresses, very simple. Couldn't be any simpler really!

Should I just move all my shit to an arduino?

No. Just stop doing any graphics programming.

called a certain interrupt
You don't ``call'' an interrupt, you signal an interrupt, which tells the CPU to call the interrupt handler.
