Microsoft Small Basic was a great tool to learn programming. Not because of language - every BASIC sucks hard AF (if you disagree - it's most likely nostalgia :P ).
It was great because it had:

- extensive and simple documentation
- enough functionality (GUI, graphics, basic OS integration) to be useful for tiny tools and games

"Increasingly, I think UX doesn't live up to its original meaning of "user experience." Instead, much of the discpline today, as it's practiced in Big Tech firms, is better described by a new name.
UX is now <<user exploitation>>."
