12-year-old me was mostly procrastinating but sometimes fired up Pascal which required me to insert a floppy disk in my 486 compaq machine for it to work. the machine was a donation from my aunt, could only run DOS.

However chatgpt or gemini free tier is more than enough for a kid to figure out how python works and build some simple software. While I have the Gemini subscription I only got it because my family drive storage was nearly full. I could've probably got by with ChatGPT free to just stop using stackoverflow.
