Hey, fediverse (and bsd.network!)
I want to hear about your formative tech years!

What did you love in years past? What made you think "if we have something like *this* today, the future is certain to be amazing?"

@pamela My Dad bought a Radio Shack TRS-80 Model III with 48K RAM and I learned how to program in BASIC.

I spent hours typing in programs, learning how they worked, and changed them.

I'm a now but I still love to program.

@pertho I love how many of us had a lot of the same experiences, just sitting and writing code and carefully thinking things through, all within similar timeframes. :D

I used the ones at school.

Wrote a program to help me tally up video-cassette rental receipts for someone. (eg, reinventing databases, badly)
