    Built to Last

    Remember when your phone could survive a drop from a skyscraper? Or when your printer just worked for years on end? In this episode of Code and Conversations, hosts Maria and Sarah are taking a deep dive into the golden age of tech durability: the 90s and early 2000s. Join them as they reminisce about the Nokia 3310, the enduring reliability of CRT monitors, and the satisfying "clack" of mechanical keyboards that just wouldn't quit. Was tech truly built better back then, or is it just nostalgia talking? Maria and Sarah explore the design philosophies, manufacturing processes, and economic shifts that led to gadgets that felt almost indestructible, and compare them to today's often more fragile (and frequently replaced) devices. Get ready to ponder planned obsolescence, the rise of disposable tech, and whether we've sacrificed resilience for sleekness and constant upgrades. You might just find yourself wishing for the days when your charger cables lasted longer than a year!
