My first paid programming job was a VB6 app in ~2004 in high school. It was initially a volunteer thing for a local youth court assistance group but they paid us $100 at the end as a kind of surprise reward. The thing had a UI with the right tab movements and backed by mysql db, and even did correlation calculations for crime statistics. I still have 1 VB app on my resume from way back then, I refuse to remove it! And boy do I miss just making stupid games really really fast, and making actual productive applications also really really fast. I had made an HTML editor with previews, syntax highlighting (lol, my own 'algorithm' haha), project management tools, and everything. I was so proud of that. The base fond VB memories are the simple joy of starting a new project (before .NET called them Solutions) and making the thing I had in mind in like a couple hours. Really miss that.
