I started programming at a pretty early age and I've always (probably from the first time I saw an emulator) had a goal to code an emulator myself. I start and abandon hobby projects all the time, so it took me quite a few tries to actually get some traction. But when I finally did, and I got to the point where I could see the BASIC prompt on my C64 emulator it was an amazing feeling of accomplishment. It was a great learning experience, not just making the emulator, but the whole journey to learn enough to finally make it happen. I highly recommend it if that kind of thing interests you, if not, then don't do it, do something that interests you instead.
