Modern software development started for me in 1985 when we disassembled the Choplifter arcade game they mistakenly put in the college dorm with several student engineers. Within 15 minutes of them dropping it off, we had the back door open and the eproms lifted from the motherboard. Within a couple of hours we had reverse engineered the code, modified it for a free game hack, burned new eproms and put back in service.

In honor of thr 40th anniversary of this hack, I recently played the stock version in an emulator on a web page. Code lives on, I suppose.
