Thanks for sharing this. Do you still have your code for your battleship game? All of my earliest programming projects have been lost to time.

  One of my few regrets is leaving old computers/disks at my parents house when I moved out. I didn’t value them at all at the time - they were old crappy computers. So my Commodore 64 and 128 and all the software I spent my childhood writing were thrown away. I had a full BBS program that I wrote when I was 14 along with a half dozen BBS games. Would love to see that code!

    I lost all my youth code to a monkey virus (nasty boot sector propegator that someone placed on a computer in the college where my mom was studying nursing). Before I knew what was going on it had spread to every floppy and hard drive that I had and had destroyed all the data. Three years of work gone. At that age it felt like most of my life had evaporated. It was almost ten years before I started building serious personal projects again.

  Maybe that's for the better... my code from when I was 15 years old haunts my GitHub, and that's not even my first GitHub account.

  My first major programming project was in high school circa 2005. A basic graphing calculator written in JAVA with Spring and all the UI elements made in MS Paint. I wish I still had that code.
