When I was in high school I got a second hand TI86 and started writing code for it… for one of the math-heavy subjects I effectively stopped studying and started writing code instead, on the calculator.

Whenever the teachers would do exercises on the whiteboard I would just do testing of my software, verifying its correctness.

Calculators were allowed, and the teacher kinda encouraged us to get familiar with our calculators (the subject was calculations-heavy) so I didn’t get caught.

Fun times, sometimes I miss TI-basic.
