I credit ResEdit hacking partially for steering my path towards becoming a programmer. I had my Classic Mac OS installs throughly customized, as well as the other various programs and games that stored their assets in resource forks.

It was a lot of fun and something I’ve missed in modern computing. Not even desktop Linux is really fills that void. ResEdit and the way it exposed everything complete with built-in editors was really something special.

ResEdit and using it to modify Escape Velocity is 100% the reason I’m still in this industry.

Same here but only for joining the industry. Now it's the opposite, that webdev still hasn't reached that level of maturity of classic Mac OS makes me want to quit.
