- kfarr 4y agoYou might be surprised much time kids have on their hands. Typing help on old school dos prompt gave some hints iirc. Somehow I found qbasic, maybe just listing some directory which started an endless rabbit hole of self learning for me.

The qbasic IDE was incredibly intuitive, it's sad that we don't have something closely modeled on it today (or on Turbo Pascal/C++) as a default terminal-friendly dev experience. Equally disappointing that the most common window-based IDE is some sort of Electron- and JavaScript-based monstrosity.
