10 PRINT "HELLO"
20 GOTO 10
RUN

It was the late 80's or early 90's, I was around 10 years old, and my jaw dropped when I typed this on the Atari 800XL my parents had just given to me.
Hooked ever since :)

    For me it was just a for loop. We had a substitute teacher who decided to do some actually interesting stuff instead of typing shit in Word. That sent me down the rabbit hole.

    My old man soldered a hobby computer that ran on BASIC in the early 80's. I was to young to actually get programming but I typed in stuff from a book and it worked :)
