Agreed! mIRC scripting is the reason I am a developer today and the reason it's been my career!



mIRC scripts were also my first foray into writing code for anything more than "playing around". I write mIRC to help automate some of the things I was doing on IRC at the time.

That experience helped me back up my smart-ass comments to a manager at my job about being able to write better software than they were forcing us to use.

Eventually I leveraged that experience into getting a real dev job.


mIRC scripting as a career?! No thanks! /s


haha I'm with you there! I just mean it mIRC scripting was the seed to my eventual career in software!
