Ask HN: What did you spend your first real job paycheck on?

• bluedino 6y ago
  I always wanted compilers, but could t afford Borland C++ which meant I was stuck with QBasic and older C/Pascal compilers thag could only make .com files. So my first purchase was Visual C++ 4. Programmed my ass off for a whole week. I then discovered cars and started spending all my time and money on that.

Haha, cars seem to be a black hole for all the money people make. >> I always wanted compilers, but could t afford Borland C++ which meant I was stuck with QBasic and older C/Pascal compilers thag could only make .com files. So my first purchase was Visual C++ 4. Programmed my ass off for a whole week. Coming from a Java background, I couldn't have imagined people paying for a compiler. Times surely have changed!
