Amazing parallel to my discovery of programming.

I distinctly remember the EUO window and the first time I was trying to understand the syntax of a random script I pasted into it. It was almost readable with and made sense “if X”, “while X”..

Who knew I was learning basic flow control, booleans and variables.

What stuck the most after all the years is that curious desire to tinker and hack at something obsessively until you get it.
