Why I will never be a Great Programmer
Ask a Great Programmer how they got into programming and you'll hear something like this:
I used to tinker with this Commodore SX-64 Portable in school. No, I think it really began with the HP calculator I used to program with their RPN stack language when I was 12 years old. And then it was fun making the MITS Altair 8800 do weird stuff. Basically, I realised at a very young age that I was surrounded by programmable digital machines.
Nobody ever says: I worked in Turbo C on Windows. That's what we had in our college labs.
Damn.
