Programming Throwdown, Episode 150 Code Reviews with On Freund.

Take it away, Patrick.

Well, we have a divisible by 10 episode, 150.

So that's got to be a posit.

We made it another, it's not an anniversary.

I don't know we call it another.

or the first time you got a computer, like just that memorable sort of early thing that happened?

Yeah, it's a great, it's a great question. If that's your vanity project, you're on the right

track. So I think I was around eight years old.

I wrote my first computer program in Basic.

And back then in Israel, there was like a famous series of booklets about how to write

basic.

It was called Machshev, everyone who wanted to do anything with a computer in Israel had it.

And it was like a series of, I don't know, 15 of them or so. You know, the first one was obviously the Hello
