it's been a long time since computer #programming was fun for me, I admit. my male sale had all his enjoyment for it beaten out of him by a couple of terrible software jobs in Seattle and even though he tried intermittently afterward to get back into the swing of it, he never succeeded. Kara's hoping that I might have better luck since I seem to be a bit less inhibited than poor old Mono, who instead became a classical scholar (no, really)
anyway, where _I'm_ coming from with #programming is: got started as a foal with "Logo" turtle graphics in grade school, moved up to the Commodore-16 and Commodore-64, bashing out Basic programs out of books and magazines and trying to do stuff from Scientific American's "Computer Recreations" back when SciAm didn't suck ass. Then it was Borland Pascal in school, then doing stuff on System 7 Macs in C using "Code Warrior". Also HyperCard, because HyperCard was cool.
oh, and then I was a registered BeOS developer for a time. Poor, poor BeOS. *chuckles, a bit shamefaced* I do miss BeOS still but it was never gonna succeed. That was about the last time I enjoyed #programming, in the late '90s. since then my experience has been very sporadic. I did succeed in liking C# in Unity (as long as I didn't try to use Unity's editor to do, well, anything) and I poked at Python (hated it) and Rust (liked it better). So, not sure where to start now!
"male self". "male sale", where the eff did that come from
