Back in the 1980s, I would write a BASIC program on my PC to be a chess clock. I think I wrote it anew each time? It was really easy to do.

- akkartik 2y agoYes! That is the world I want to bring back. No package manager and whatnot, just copy paste code from a website and keep going. (I'm ok with not having to type it in every time. Though you're welcome to do that if you like.)
- eesmith 2y agoI probably wrote it anew each time because I wanted to try something different. Or, in modern speak, it was a code kata. I did the same when I needed to memorize a word list for Spanish class.
