Lol, my first programming gig as a teenager was performing a VB6 -> VB.NET "upgrade" of a 200K sloc legacy desktop application, which obviously ended up being a total rewrite. Everything in my career since then has seemed easy in comparison.
- mdeeks 3y agoIf this was mine, I'm so sorry :) Just kidding, I actually know my VB6 code is still running in prod. VB6 did let me learn to program very valuable utilities from scratch, with practically no programming experience. I probably owe my entire career to it and VBA. I took a C++ course once and it nearly turned me off of coding completely. VB6 saved me.
- mcmoor 3y agoI learnt VB6 when I'm still 10 years old and all seems so simple and magical. Then I encounter "Visual Basic" again in high school and it's almost unrecognizable with all the C# nonsenses. I still don't enjoy programming GUI like I was in VB6.
