How'd you get into programming? (self.programming)

Personally, I started off with Roblox back in the early 2010s, and taught myself Lua. I really liked those Tycoon games, and wanted to see how they worked.

I eventually found Minecraft (like every kid back in the day did), and learnt Java to make Bukkit server mods.

Around 2016 I thought websites were kinda cool, so I started learning HTML, CSS, and JS, and I've been in the web dev space ever since.

What about the rest of y'all? What's your personal programming path?

Funnily enough, it was Khan Academy and the course there on Python programming. I taught myself Python, and then Java, and then C++ and then I played around with both an Arduino and a Raspberry Pi, then I started my degree in Computer Science (which I technically didn't finish but I also technically did) and the rest is history. History that led me to work on a team that would work to send a small simulated satellite into low-Earth orbit. And now I just do random projects and make games when I have the time between my many other endeavors.
