I did coding in the C64 demo scene in the late 80s, early 90s. Doing 6510 assembler in the demo group we called Horizon.
A sample demo part I wrote together with my Friend Linus. This demo part also uses the music routine I wrote, with music composed by Linus.
@bagder A few years ago I worked as head of software and regularly hired people.
Demo scene experience, for those who actually mentioned that in their CVs, was pretty much an automatic next round.
(One person didn't mention it outright, but I recognized the handle in their email address!)

@troed @bagder There's quite a lot of overlap in #infosec and #demoscene, too. Hacker mindset and all that I guess.
... and being assembler natives :D But you're absolutely correct - I mean - the demoscene originated from _crack_ intros after all.
@troed @harrysintonen I think it also made an excellent intro to embedded systems development in general with the lowlevel thinking combined with lots of assembler knowledge etc. Made poking on bootloaders with occasional inlined assembly etc feel "at home".
