Meanwhile...

Only slightly worse than how I did my class assignments in AP Computer Science when I was really bored....

@cypnk

@bstacey Now I can't wait to see that code!
@cypnk It's years lost by now, but it was usually half a page of #define directives and a one-line for loop that did all the work in the part that usually just says "i++".

@bstacey Oh that's a shame. I'm still quite fond of my bad code because it shows me where I've been

It's good to look back sometimes in case you doubt yourself and how much you've changed. The past is there to inform the present and forge the future

@cypnk I think what that code would show about where I've been is that I was a bit of a smeghead as a teenager.

(" 'As a teenager,' you say." "Hush.")

@cypnk But I do still have a directory tree of MS-DOS Basic proglets from a few years prior to that. Looking over some of those now ... sheesh, I was really in love with extended ASCII character art.

@bstacey You should save those (maybe put them up on GitHub). I'm quite sad when people delete old projects like that

It's like throwing away your school sketches and doodles
