- dylan604 5y agoThis is exactly how I got into coding. A friend had the computer, and the 2 of us would hunt&peck the code in. We were maybe 12 years old. The DATA lines were the tricky spots. Everything else used words we could understand, and it just made sense after doing it enough. The DATA was just jibberish. We found it easiest if one typed while the other called out the data. Faster and fewer mistakes.
