damn...... my cover letter to any hip millennial company involves "I learned how to code through neopets in my adolescence"
on twitter “neopets” is a signal word for “how i learned to code as a girl” and honestly this is erasure of those of us who didn’t learn to code anything and just showed up every day to get a slice of the giant omelette

i can’t tell if you are virtual signaling about getting a slice from the neopia omelette or free breakfast from bigtech cafeterias

i live for free breakfast but my personal first world big tech problem is i can’t get up early enough to make it in before it closes

Neopets helped nurture early age gambling addiction and being into junior wallstreet bets instead of teaching me how to code

I was so into that stock market and BS (blackjack) and that egg keno game

Neopets taught me valuable lessons about WiFi speed at my house vs. my friends houses by spending hours refreshing the Money Tree. Got that paintbrush tho

I'm not sure I learned anything from NeoPets other than the fine line between practical household economics and starving pets.
