ACT I · THE SPARK

2016 — 2018
bash — 80×24
2016

First line of code

A hand-me-down PC, a blinking cursor, and no idea it would become everything.

#include <iostream>

int main() {
    std::cout << "hello, world";
    return 0;
}

2018

First web pages

Discovered view-source and never recovered. The internet stopped being magic and became a workshop.
