I always love hearing from other people who started with computers by typing in basic from magazines.

For me it was a TI 99/4a and typing in code got me completely hooked on programming. Whether it was a game, a 4 bit cpu simulator of some sort (memories are vague) or a word search solver didn’t matter. It all felt magical.

Logo did nothing for me. It never gave me that sense of satisfaction that I got from writing in basic or assembly.

Yeah it was a Texas Instruments calculator for me too.

The part I think people have given up on is the contract. There are no rights without obligations and there are no obligations with repercussions.

Side rant… every time I’ve heard "We're all in it together" it’s been from someone who believes the opposite. That phrase just grates now.
