The year was 1991. My friend and I were partying and playing darts. 301, to be precise. At a certain point, I noted a subtraction error in my friend's score. I pointed it out so we checked everything and found I made some subtraction errors too. We were pretty wasted so this was no surprise.
I had a computer in the garage on my workbench. So I decided to solve this problem by writing some code. About an hour and some number of shots later, bullshitting with my friend the whole time, I had a working scoreboard program.
We continued playing darts. We were both amused that even though I was too wasted to subtract, I could still write code.
We probably should have just switched to Cricket.

- gohrt 10y agohow do you know your program was correct?
- CodeWriter23 10y agoThat's a fair question. Once my ability to subtract was restored (after a nasty hangover) I checked my work.
