One of my first programming projects as a teenager back in terminal-type days was to write my own text editor for the Atari ST. I was super happy with it, and sold three (3) copies of it! That made me very happy at the time.
Of course there was that time that I messed with the save/load code and destroyed the text files of one of my customers. Not so happy with that! Saved it by writing a fix system, and that actually led to being hired at that guy's company for my first "real" job. ;)

- rossjudson 5y agoAhahaha! You said company. ;) It was just me, a teenage kid, selling to people who came through the store I worked at selling computers (the store sold the Atari line). I called it DEdit, because every programmer wants to grab a single letter title.
