Was it fun?

Do you imagine computer environments would be more fun or less fun for your young self?

It was loads of fun. My friends and me, we were all self-motivated to learn. There was little support by adults - programming was simply not something they could relate to at all.

How would it be for my younger self today? Hard to say, I can only guess. There‘s are a lot more resources today, from online tutorials/courses to Stack Overflow.
I think my younger self would have liked that.
