     8? Damn dude, that’s hardcore. Too bad you hate coding because if you actually liked it you’d be top-tier probably

     @dave don't know why this isn't common - home computers came with some sort of programming language bundled well into the 90s

     @thor C64 BASIC, I might have been 7.

     I soon learned how to ask the audience's names via the INPUT statement, and how you could concatenate strings to propose those people do some very indecent things to each other.

     My parents weren't amused, and I probably wasn't allowed to use the C64 for a while, idk, it was a long time ago.

     @thor Way to fan my insecurity :D
     I started learning how to code when I was maybe 25? Seems like I'm very late to the party.
     But I can't say I'm surprised, I've seen so many YT tutorials by coders with >10 years of experience who could be my youngest brother...

     @theDoctor @thor I don't think there's much need for being intimidated. Most of us didn't make very good use of the first 15 years of "experience". 😁
     
     Some of them did though, write Amiga demos in assembler when they were 13 and the like. Those people intimidate *me*. 😊
