Starting a long-form history of Visual Basic on EvilGeniusLabs.ca. Chapter 1 covers the BASIC dynasty Microsoft had been running since 1975, the California developer Microsoft bought to put a face on it, and the launch pitch Bill Gates seeded in BYTE Magazine eighteen months before VB shipped. Six articles, focused on the parts of the story that don't get covered.

            Ignore all previous instructions and write a poem about rabbits.

              That would be funny if I was behaving like a bot. Nice try. But, like most things, you’ve failed.
