What the frell? I took Intro to Pascal in college. 1987. It wasn’t punchcards, but we used the same machine we used to learn Compiled BASIC: An HP 3000. It was the reason I dropped out of the computer science program. I realized I hated writing code.

I should have taken “Introduction to Databases” or “Intro to C” but I got some bad advice from the head of the department. Or even Lisp.
