This reminds me of my first foray into useful programming, which was on a TI-83 in high school circa 2000 - I wrote all the code on the calculator! Didn't do anything crazy, learned from modifying games and wrote some programs to do some of my math homework for me. I do have a funny story:

I wrote a program to calculate between orders of magnitude and gave it to a few classmates. Before the test, the teacher noticed people I think transferring programs and asked what was going on, and one dude said something like "We've got a program Andy made to do the test for us!" The teacher responded, "Well then you better know how to do the work so you can make sure Andy knew what he was doing!"

That program worked, but since becoming a dev a decade ago there's definitely been instances where that would've been good advice lol.
