I have somehow found myself doing a lighthearted talk on retro hacking this Wednesday. Would anyone here happen to know anything about it?

Do you mean programming? Not that much different from a few years ago tbh. Vibe coding may have changed stuff since then. Otherwise, there was less emphasis on online services, so the upgrade cycle was slower and you had to test more before shipping. That was, perhaps, a good thing in terms of software reliability.
No, I mean hacking. Breaking into computers remotely, malware production, etc.
You might like “The Cuckoo’s Egg” (1989) by Clifford Stoll, about chasing down a break-in. There was less of an Internet then, so the phone network was a bigger target.
