Yeah, scripts to automate things. Especially the boot procedure in DOS, to allocate the memory in the right way depending on what I wanted to do.
Had a 27mc linked to my pc to download mp3s at 800 bytes a second and it needed some specific things to function.
Then came the internet and I started my computer science education, learned to program for real then, but not a lot about internet and web scripts. Taught myself html, CSS, flash, javascript, PHP, CGI and later Python and everything related to the hosting of those things.
And that’s what I still do, teaching myself new web related technologies or even re-educating myself in old ones (javascript!)
Quality, Speed, Cost. Pick two.
