Not that it's a competition, when I first started learning to code formally I used punch cards. My teacher was of the old school where they preferred to teach the maths before allowing you to move on to the 2GL and 3GL languages. They had a pretty cool collection of what were nearly museum pieces, including an amazing "laptop" that weighed 20kg and had wheels!

Right, so was it an an Altair 8080? The suspense is killing me...

My dad learned with punch cards. He said he'd work on his little program for an hour after which it would be posted off to a bank. A week later you get the output back and it'd say "error".
You know how you write a bit of code, run it, and then have a series of errors to fix before it "works" but still gives the wrong answer? That, but with a week wait each time

Ok, this sounds like an Altair 8080? In which case you probably win.
