alt Hacker NewsIt's funny how many software developers got into it due to being bored in class with a TI-83 and randomly trying to create programs.

That’s me with a TI-85 in 7th grade in ‘95 or so.
It was effectively a portable computer that I was allowed to use and play with in most classes.
Started with TI-BASIC, then discovered ticalc.org and the shell and assembly programming hacks, games, and home brew transfer cables.
It effectively started my electrical engineering and computer science career.
I know I’m not alone.
