Like top comment, my first exposure to programming was basic on a ti-86 (better than 83, but quickly outdone by 84 shortly after)

My first program was doubly cheating, not only did I have a program for solving quadratic equation, but I copied the basic off the internet in true open src fashion

When I told my dad I copied code from internet, he was so disappointed and thought I had 0 skills. Now, we pip/npm/etc install anything and are heroes for choosing to "buy" not "build"
