@phiofx A long time ago, in what seems like a different lifetime now, I was hired to teach a little group of children on the autism spectrum (ages 11-13) some basic programming. We used Python, and had lots of fun. But there was one thing that struck me as very, very different from when I was a coding kid.
The games and demos I made were pretty shitty, but they weren't *much* shittier than what pros did. And the size differential was tiny: there's only so much you can put on a 170 KB floppy.
