npub1gfdrrw9629qxwvwaa3vwnvzhtaqu2c5m9wf6vcwjnmdnhs7hl4jsux7gg6 (npub1gfd…7gg6) Wrote my first couplee programs in RSTS BASIC-PLUS when I was in ninth grade. Learned on my own. No idea what documentation I might have learned from. It was fun writing code to do array stuff without knowing how to code arrays.

After that, three years of programming classes in 10th-12th grade. (My school district was ahead of its time.) Lots more BASIC-PLUS, some Fortran-77, some PDP assembler, etc. Have never taken a programming course since.
