The same experience exists today, its called the 'net. Whether its
mailing lists, or comp.lang.c++, or a blog, the social interaction is
still there -- its just not mediated by a dead tree magazine. We
don't *need* the magazines as a springboard for our conversations
anymore -- we can talk to each other directly. The community of
programmers is more alive than ever from where I sit, its just not
happening on the pages of dead tree magazines like BYTE or DDJ.
