Show HN: Still coding in VC++ 6.0 after losing everything, living in a trailer

13•CodeAndExile•13h ago
Hey HN,

I spent 30 years writing CAD plugins in C++, mostly in Visual C++ 6.0. Then the industry collapsed. And I lost an intellectual lawsuit, my income dried up, and my marriage ended.

Now I live alone in a trailer in rural Canada — still writing code, still surviving, trying to crawl back.

This is a short video I made (50 seconds), documenting a quiet moment from this strange life. If you’ve ever hit rock bottom and kept going, you might relate.

https://youtube.com/shorts/dDLSd3pfIYI?feature=share

Thanks for watching. Just sharing — not selling anything.

I’ve never posted here before. If anyone’s ever been through something similar, would love to hear from you, thank you

Feel for you, man. Respect.
CodeAndExile•13h ago
Thank you. It's been rough, but still coding. Messages like yours help more than you know.

I have also used VC++ (ATL, MFC etc) till about 2005 or so - and can relate to that time and dev journey.

You can relatively easily pick up other languages and frameworks, especially using LLMs. This would help with your marketability for jobs.

Email me if you want to brainstorm.

Thanks, truly appreciate your message! yes, I’ve thought about picking up modern tools, especially LLMs. But at this point, I’m more focused on building something meaningful through YT. It’s a new path I’m exploring, maybe my last one.

Thanks you all! I’m still using Visual C++ 6.0 mainly for AutoCAD plugin development (ObjectARX), targeting some legacy projects that are still alive. Happy to share more if anyone’s curious how to survive with a 25-year-old compiler today.
