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 #sysadmin now but I still love to program.
@pertho @pamela
I used the ones at school.
Wrote a program to help me tally up video-cassette rental receipts for someone. (eg, reinventing databases, badly)
