    I remember typing a whole afternoon with a friend just so the screen did alternate colors, it was so underwhelming I think that killed any spark that I might have had for programming.

      I didn’t even have a color monitor :'( I would’ve been jealous of yours.

      I almost quit programming too when my brother walked in one day as I was feverishly typing. “What? You’re programming basic? That’s for losers.” Then he whips up a ski slalom game in a single incomprehensible line of apl and I was like wtaf?

      Today I’m a professional dev and my bro is a perl hacker. I still can’t understand a line of his code.
