Programming mine in high school is how I ended up coding for the first time and led to my current career. Honestly a pretty good investment (from my parents) I'd say.

- w0m 5mo agosame. My first real exposure to coding was hacking Drug Wars on my brothers old ti-89 in math class.
- mrguyorama 5mo agoSame. I bounced off a python 2 tutorial and a C tutorial, but some random nobody's TI-BASIC tutorial that started really damn easy is how I became a Computer Scientist. I eventually figured out python too! I made my own game and got a little notoriety around the school for it.
- beeandapenguin 5mo agoSame for me, it was also my first time ever seeing code, and I still remember it well. While getting ready for swim practice in a locker room, my friend challenged me to beat his score on a button mashing game he programmed earlier that day in school on his TI-84. My 12 year old self was in awe of his BASIC skills.
- jrumbut 5mo agoIt wasn't the first time I programmed but it was first time I encountered problem solving with code. I'm not one those (very admirable) people who build just to build, who make their own version of frogger or something. I need a problem to solve. But making a program that would take the parameters of a physics problem and spit out all the other quantities or that formatted output the way my stats teacher wanted it was a huge timesaver and that motivated me.
