- "When I was fourteen, I wrote space-invader games in BASIC on a VIC-20. If you were interested in computers back in 1982, I bet you did the same. When I was 18, I wrote multi-user dungeons in C on serial terminals attached to a Sun 3 ... Today, I mostly paste libraries together." http://reprog.wordpress.com/2010/03/03/whatever-happened-to-programming/?programming 125 comments programming
