Here's a snapshot of my very first computer:
This little machine — a Brazilian clone of the Sinclair ZX81 — came with a whopping 16 KB of RAM and absolutely blew my 12-year-old mind. It's where I wrote my first lines of BASIC, usually after waiting 20+ minutes for programs to (hopefully) load from a cassette tape.
If the stars aligned — the tape wasn't chewed, the cassette head was clean, and everything was perfect — the program would load. If not? It failed silently, and you started over. The alternative was typing programs manually from magazines or books, which took forever but gave me full freedom to experiment. And honestly... it was magical. ✨
Fast-forward to today, and that excitement never faded — it simply evolved. I'm still driven by the same curiosity, except now it's mostly focused on Swift and iOS development.
Here's to the journey so far — and whatever we build next. 🍻
