For those who haven't seen or don't remember it - one time (please let me know if there were more) when Hacker Typer got on TV: "They wanted to show me making games on TV, I couldn't resist!" imgur: https://imgur.com/lz7hOlC reddit: https://old.reddit.com/r/gifs/comments/1w862f/they_wanted_to... youtube: https://youtu.be/xnDwChRYB6Q?t=118

I'm pretty sure it was also featured in the first episode of Russian Doll. The screen wasn't zoomed in enough for me to verify it, but it looked very similar. Maybe if you watch it in 4k you can tell for sure.

Nice! Also mentioned on reddit: https://old.reddit.com/r/itsaunixsystem/comments/amyahe/russ...

Well, it's a pleasant surprise to see this being still posted! It's been 10 years this last April that I made HackerTyper! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2480946 I can honestly say it 100% bootstrapped me in the programming world and it's been one of the best things I ever!

Thanks for creating this site! As someone who has lead a programming club for high schoolers, it was an amazing resource to show budding programmers, let them play around with it, and then tell them how to build it themselves! It's a great little project to learn programming.

Thanks for making it and keeping it online!

My kids often want to “work like dad” so I plant them next to me with the spare laptop, open Hacker Typer, F11 and let them fire away.

The 7yo by now knows it’s not really him typing all that but still thinks it looks cool.

The 3yo pecks the keyboard key by key and then stares intently at the screen to try and correlate his typing with what shows up on screen…
