I started to code in 1993, I had an ATARI 800XL machine connected to our tele, and I had some cartridges most of them were games ( Space Invaders, Pacman, Missile Command etc.. ), I also had a cassette recorder to load also some video games on cassettes like King Kong, Zorro and Outlaw but my utmost pleasure was when I sit next to my father with a programming book in Basic language, he would open it and I start typing in Basic tens of lines code, and by the end of the program I type RUN and hit return, and I would see a flower is getting drawn with different colors on the screen ( more like in the turtle module in Python if you're familiar with it) -
It was magical moments
Since that day, I knew what I wanted to do for a living
