My biggest programming regret is not keeping hold of the qbasic stuff I cranked out as a nerdy kid.

I'm my head it was all so effing great (whole games with graphics drawn with the old pen-down, forwards 10, turn 90deg turtle thing!) but I'm certain grown-up me would get a kick out of how utterly abysmal it all was.

Then again, I'm a JS guy, so I still occasionally stumble across sites with code i worked on a few years years ago and weep openly at it.
