Real Programmers Quote:
In 1983, I was versed in LOGO (you remember the language that you moved a turtle around the screen to draw) and BASIC. I also came to know "machine language" on commodore systems. I didn't actually have a commodore - but I did have access to a friends on occasion. COMPUTE! magazine used to publish the bytes of code for user-submitted video games, and because I didn't have access to a system with any sort of regularity (being at the mercy of friends and their parents who preferred we play outside), I would read through the code to look for problems and fix them - so when I did get access to a system for a few hours I would be able to actually play the games.
This brings me to the story of a real hacker, this story was originally told on USENET in 1983 after one of those age old conversations about how FORTRAN was THE programming language to use. Funny how compiled languages somehow became the terrain of "real programmers".
