The first thing I ever did on a computer was to write a BASIC program, on a Sinclair ZX81 in 1982.
It went like this:
10 PRINT “PELLE"
20 GOTO 10
@dpurcell.bsky.social: Pour one out for the inventor of BASIC, which I learned as a 14-year-old at a local university. I started my career in software design and used Visual Basic extensively early on. In the early 60s, Kurtz had the idea that all students should learn to use a computer. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/16/t...
