This brought back some memories. We had a 6502-based BBC micro at school. I remember the first time I was so hooked trying to understand how comparisons really worked, the caretaker didn’t realise I was still there and locked the doors for the night. I was 10. Caused a bit of a panic when they found out.

That started me down the long road of learning to code. Despite getting a CompSci degree later I still have plenty of bad self-learned habits from those days. But I remember them fondly.

Sounds like compared to Becky I was very fortunate in my childhood. Kudos to her to for her amazing achievements.

(I read the transcript rather than listening to the podcast and it was still great).
