On: Ask HN: How did you get started in hacking/programming?

[a-priori]

Age 6. My dad brought home a 386 IBM-PC so he could learn AutoCAD. My brother and I somehow discovered QBASIC, played gorilla for a while, poked through it's source code not understanding a thing but feeling like "this can't be too hard".

My first attempt at writing a program?
