I just found this past artifact on my childhood desk, it turned me into a profound nostalgia.
Back in the days, I had a 2h/month 48kbps internet connection. Needless to say downloading a whole operating system was way out of my league. Luckily for teenage me, canonical was sending install CD for free back then. GCC and gedit were included in the CD. I learned C programming on that system.
I just realized this CD is now 14yo. I spent this 2007, summer helping a local paragliding club to operate in exchange of some free flying instruction. I remember a old man was learning to fly at that club this summer, we talked a lot. A early morning, he told me something I still remember word by word
> You'll see, life is pretty short in the end, I vividly remember when I was your age, I was once talking to a man about my age now, and he told me "you'll see, in no time, you'll have my age, you'll look at a youngster and feel like you were like him just yesterday.
I responded with a stupid joke on dementia, he laughed and we moved on.
He was right: it really feels like it was yesterday. I wish I could tell him he was right after all. I sadly can't remember his name. I'm not even sure he's still alive.

Yes. This is exactly what programming is like.

This would actually be an amazingly effective way to teach people how computers work and what computer programming is.

Just published the sources for my little TimeWarrior bash utility to control it with keyboard shortcuts from the terminal.
@rostiger Just a little comment to let you know that your wiki is very inspiring. I think I'm heading to the same direction as you do. But I'm clearly way behind you. It gives me hope ! 🙏
@mantissa nice soundtrack !
@fossandcrafts @mlemweb
"...but what if I'm not good enough?"
