A digital archive of BYTE Magazine covering 1975 through 1995 is online now at the Internet Archive. BYTE was a very influential magazine its first decades and included articles and columns on both hardware and software, basically everything in the topic of small computers and software. A broad range of operating systems were addressed as well. Any of the programming languages available at the time were regularly covered, Smalltalk, Lisp, Logo, basically anything. And of course source samples and occasionally whole programs were included. It basically lead in the era of hands-on computing.

I revamped a BBS program in BASIC, it was in pretty bad shape when I started on it - far more than 10 pages of code. It was still big when I was done, but organizing it logically and identifying bottlenecks and cleaning those up I did manage to make it run much faster and crash much less often - I got it reliable enough to serve an active message community (via 1200 baud modem) for months without crashing.
