In this series I will react to the "Tony Robbins'" of YouTube and their advice as to how become a #programmer and land a job.
First up Andy Serkowitz! And we will show him in #rust how to more efficiently do a beginner programming task.
My advice is, don't #learntocode from Youtube #tutorials and none educators.

We will be coding a Turbo On/Off switching tool for an old Compaq, based on Adrians Digital Basement episodes.
We will learn how to:
-load registers
-if then else statements (when arg is 0 then turbo off else, turbo on)
-read form memory
-write text to screen
-write to IO ports
The code we will create:
