Anyone remember Turbo Pascal DiskTutor? My older brother bought that for me for my birthday and I used it to learn object oriented programming. This was DOS still.

I used Turbo Pascal in 8th grade to create a simple type of 3d wireframe CAD-like tool on the PC in my bedroom.

Then in AP Computer Science in high school we had (TUI) Turbo Pascal also.

I always remember that type/style of TUI fondly. It periodically pops up in my head out of nowhere. Like just yesterday I randomly decided to add a Borland-style menu to my Starship prompt as an experiment. I accomplished that by writing about two sentences to an AI.

My actual job at this point is feeding tasks into AI and judging whether it answered just the way I wanted.
